Baroque Architecture is a book written by Martin Shaw Briggs in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Baroque style of architecture that emerged in the 17th century in Italy and spread throughout Europe. The author explores the key features of Baroque architecture, including its use of dramatic curves, grandeur, and ornate decoration. The book also examines the social and cultural context in which Baroque architecture emerged, including the role of the Catholic Church and the influence of the Counter-Reformation. The author provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of some of the most famous Baroque buildings in Europe, including St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Palace of Versailles in France. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture, art, and design, and provides a fascinating insight into one of the most influential styles of architecture in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
