«Renacimiento y barroco» is Heinrich Wölfflin's art history essay, published by Alberto Corazón in paperback (243 pages, in Spanish).
A classic essay on art historiography in which Wölfflin proposes a method of formal analysis to distinguish the Renaissance from the Baroque. Drawing on examples from Italian architecture, he defines stylistic concepts that allow both eras to be compared and understands the evolution of forms as an expression of a worldview.
This corresponds to the 1977 edition within Alberto Corazón's «Comunicación» collection. The text is in Spanish.
For art history students and readers interested in style, Italian architecture, and the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque.
Heinrich Wölfflin was a Swiss art historian, esthetician and educator, whose objective classifying principles were influential in the development of formal analysis in art history in the early 20th century. He taught at the University of Basel, the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in the generation that saw German art history's rise to pre-eminence. His three most important books, still consulted, are Renaissance und Barock (1888), Die Klassische Kunst, and Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe.
