Jeffrey’s Reviews > How to Look at and Understand Great Art > Status Update

Utterly fantastic intro to art, comprehensive, detailed, broad and expansive survey. Ready for the art museum!

Baroque - northern v southern styles; compare to robert greenberg description of baroque music - ornate but strictly controlled as well.
Prof hirsch on bernini’s the 4 rivers fountain in rome’s piazza navona , asks us to imagine what the baroque fountain would sound like compared to a renaissance fountain!
Do art architecture, music and literature all adhere to these period themes?

More notes on the Renaissance, early , northern, high
