In 'Renaissance and Baroque', Heinrich Wölfflin explores the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque, analyzing the dissolution of the former and seeking to understand the internal life of art. The author examines how the light and rigor of the Renaissance gave way to the relaxation and apparent arbitrariness of the Baroque. Through a predominantly architectural analysis, Wölfflin lays the foundations for a scientific study of the works of art that have been admired throughout time, considering them creations of a Golden Age. This book is a contribution to the history of styles, rather than the history of artists, and focuses on observing the symptoms of decline and recognizing the law that allows us to glimpse the internal life of art.
