Routledge Art and Reform in the Late Renaissance Book

Explore a new perspective on sixteenth and seventeenth-century art with Art and Reform in the Late Renaissance: After Trent. This volume from Routledge moves beyond the idea that this era was merely a decline of Renaissance classicism or a precursor to the Baroque. Instead, it examines the art and architecture produced after 1563 on its own unique terms. By pulling from recent research by established and emerging scholars, this book looks across traditional geographic borders to provide a global view of visual culture. It examines the work of diverse artists including Federico Barocci and Stefano Maderno in Italy, Hendrick Goltzius in the Netherlands, Antoine Caron in France, Francisco Ribalta in Spain, and Bartolomeo Bitti in Peru. This collection offers a deep look into how art functioned during this period of transition, making it a valuable resource for students and historians of early modern visual culture.
