Description
"In a detailed examination of works by Luca Giordano, Mattia Preti, and Jusepe de Ribera amongst others, Illuminations explores how seventeenth-century audiences were confronted with pictures that frequently broke conventions by manipulating the sources and meaning of light, while depicting all types of subjects. Set in the context of Italy's dynamic and international cultural capitals, and featuring some of Canada's foremost Baroque paintings, Illuminations examines how the functional and symbolic representation of light was the expression of a culture captivated by theatrical display."-- book cover flap.
