AbstractFilippo Baldinucci is best known today as the author of the first history of figurative art that was European rather than national or regional in scope. His life of Bernini is basic to an understanding of the greatest artist that Italy has produced since the end of the Renaissance. Since the biographer was a contemporary of his subject and like him deeply immersed in Catholic mysticism and the concepts of the Counter Reformation, the book also provides an insight into the spirit and flavor of the age. Translated into English for the first time.
