What is Baroque?

Art historians look with increasing attention at Baroque art. Many similarities connect us to this cultural phenomenon: the crisis of traditional systems and the emotional excess of visual communication. Yet, something of the complex thinking that lies under this art eludes our full comprehension. The course aims to disentangle the complexities of Baroque, unveil its underpinning reasons, its materiality, and its deep devotion with the tools of modern critique.
