<p>"Andrea Pozzo and the Religious Theatre of the Seventeenth Century" offers a highly original, superbly researched, and compellingly written contextual examination of the life and works of the Jesuit artist Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709), known for his large-scale works of painted perspectival illusionism. This book presents Pozzo's career and his multi-faceted practice--which included painting, scenography, architecture, and a two-volume treatise on perspective--as a prime case study for understanding the relationship of the religious art and architecture of the seventeenth century to the period's culture of theatre and ritual. This is only the second monograph on Pozzo in English, and the first to undertake an expanded study of the artist, his work and the culture in which he was formed as a religious artist responding fully to the theatricality of his age. "Andrea Pozzo and the Religious Theatre of the Seventeenth Century" will appeal to historians of art, architecture, theatre, and religion, among others.</p>
