Art History

Description:

The Age of the Baroque was one of the most dynamic in Western history. Absolute monarchs such as Urban VIII, Louis XIV, and Peter the Great ruled over growing empires from sumptuous new capital cities. Contact with the New World, Galileo¿s invention of the telescope, and Newton¿s discovery of the laws of physics challenged conceptions of the universe and humanity¿s place in it. A philosophical revolution unfolded led by Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz. Literature flourished with the works of Shakespeare and Cervantes, while Purcell and Bach wrote the century¿s soundtrack.
