Alois Riegl (1858-1905) born in Vienna, was an art historian and foremost figure in the establishment of art history as a stand-alone academic discipline.
"This translation of a pioneering work along with astute analyses
of it clearly shows how the art of the Baroque 1550-1630 differed
from but was not a decline from the early Renaissance masters."
--Bibliothèque d'Humanisme et Renaissance
"A complex viewpoint on continuity and rupture in art that has been
rarely matched."--Renaissance Quarterly
"[This book is] exemplary in its combination of a careful,
scrupulous translation of one of the classic and complex texts of
German art historiography around 1900 with the three well-informed,
introductory essays which illuminate this text from different
perspectives."--Journal of Art Historiography
"The translation into English of Alois Riegl's final book, Die
Entstehung der Barockkunst in Rom, is certain to be embraced with
enthusiasm by specialists and students of art history and the
Baroque alike. . . . Collectively these essays offer a very fine
addition to a text that is certain to open further enquiry on the
late ideas of this important art historian."--Renaissance and
Reformation
