Duration: 26 min

Creator: Time-Life

Color: color

Description: Uses stunning images to document the lushness and luxury of early Barogue. Points out the Seventeenth Century Rome as being both religious and sensual, and the works of Titian, Rubens, and Bernini being the acme of popular art. Stresses that the essence of Baroque was the uniting of flesh and spirit, dogma and sensuality, obedience and freedom. Shows evidence of this unity in the great religious figures of the times, St. Ignatius, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. John of the Cross.
