Title
Baroque Visuality between Perspective and the Photograph Description
In accounts of visuality, linear perspective is accorded a central role in explicating the aims and effects of Western art. Pan-European experiments with Caravaggism in the seventeenth century, however, produced a new type of image that operated outside the conventions of linear perspective and invoked widespread critical attack. The rapid foreclosure of Caravaggism thus constitutes a significant and revealing episode for probing the historical investments of the Western artistic tradition. Speaker
