Features: The entire book is guided by five pairs of basic concepts, skillfully handling a vast amount of visual material. From perspectives such as sketches, paintings, sculptures, and architecture, it attempts to answer the following questions: What are the main differences between classical art and Baroque art? Do different nations and eras share common patterns? What is the foundation of the seemingly chaotic development of art? What causes people to have completely different reactions to the same painting or the same artist.
