Features: Just as Rembrandt's paintings and Michelangelo's sculptures, 17th-century art is full of surprises. Including architecture, artists skillfully express narratives, evoke emotions, portray characters, and create atmospheres. They speak directly to us, and facing them, we are like reading a book. The 18th-century art garden is filled with a classical perspective, yet it also harbors the revolution of art—Romanticism clashing with Classicism. How did the world of art in the 17th and 18th centuries change dramatically? Please read The Cambridge History of Art (Volume II) to find out.
