Essay question to prepare for (30 pts; will write in class): Baroque art and theatre: discuss and specifically compare/contrast two Baroque artistic “sites” (examples would be Carracci’s Farnese Gallery ceiling, Reni’s Aurora, Maderno’s St. Cecilia, Bernini’s “Crossing” statues for St. Peter’s, Bernini’s Ecstasy of St. Teresa, Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni, Gaulli’s Triumph of the Holy Name of Jesus, Girardon’s Apollo & the Nymphs of Thetis, and the Galerie des Glaces at Versailles) in terms of how the viewer is involved in the spectacle and drama of the artwork [it’s o.k. if both examples are by the same artist, but you should address differences between the two “sites”].
