Description: A lavishly illustrated essay about the history of brazilian Baroque art Few times a book about art achieved in a harmonious balance as between narrative clarity, simplicity and erudition. In this second volume of the collection Roteiros visuais in Brazil, Alberto Martins and Glory Kok make a provocative incursion by the Baroque period, guiding the reader from the very beginnings of the movement until its consolidation as national identity. Although instinctively, everybody knows about Baroque art, the legacy of historic towns such as Tiradentes or Ouro Preto, is by the figure of the master Aleijadinho and their churches, or by the verses of acids Gregório de Matos, the Hellmouth, firing criticism against all social classes. This explains these abstract concepts with clarity, in addition to studying the major artists and various regions of the country.
