| The Spread Of Baroque |
Artist and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini dominated baroque sculpture in Rome. His works created effects of realistic dramatic tension, strong light-and-dark contrasts, and the illusion of variegated colors. He also excelled in portraiture, as did sculptor Alessandro Algardi. Fountains were among the principal types of baroque public monuments, and those by Bernini are outstanding examples. The major Italian baroque architects included Carlo Maderno, Francesco Borromini, and Guarino Guarini. |
