The Baroque style transformed the architectural appearance of Rome and many other Italian cities in the Seventeenth Century. Painters, architects and sculptors collaborated as never before to create interiors of unequalled splendour in palaces and churches. From Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, de Cortana, Luca Giordano and Baciccio to Guido Reni, all decorators of genius that spread their luminous triumphal visions over huge vaults using an illusionist technique whose soaring effects seem to open up the infinity of the heavens.
Charles McCorquodale is a freelance art historian specializing in Italian painting.
