Why François du Quesnoy Should Have “Dy’d Mad”: A consideration of Roman baroque sculptors’ intentions.

by Jennifer Montagu, Honorary Fellow, The Warburg Institute, London.

With a foreword by Colin B. Bailey, Chief Curator of The Frick Collection.

The Council of The Frick Collection Lecture Series, The Frick Collection, 2007, softcover, 46 pages, illustrated (b&w)

When executing their works, Roman baroque sculptors took into account both the placement of the finished object — in niches, above eye level, or on the sidewalls of chapels — and the available light. The lecturer will discuss how they adapted their art to fit a specific site, and how we should look at it.
