Description
Relics, Dreams, Voyages is a closely focused sequence of studies of worldwide connections in all the arts during the baroque period. Drawing on original research in libraries, collections, and archives in five countries, and in as many languages, this book brings together many astonishing, unfamiliar, and beautiful texts, things, and events. It creates a cartography of the secret and strange patterns of baroque cultures worldwide.
The visual arts are examined across a wide temporal and geographical span, and many subversive iconographies are decoded: at the French and English courts, in remote Scotland, in Nagasaki, and in Valladolid. This book offers a new, extraordinary cultural geography of the baroque world, opening doors to many rich and strange cultural artefacts, from 'China to Peru.'
