Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the diary of Jean-Jacques Bouchard, a young Parisian in 1630-1632, exploring Rome and Naples during the height of the Baroque period. An astute and often cynical observer, Bouchard's detailed descriptions of these vibrant cities offer a glimpse into the daily life, customs, and artistic culture of the era. Bouchard's journey coincides with the final days of the enigmatic painter Caravaggio and the rise of Neapolitan musical virtuosi. He reflects on the political intrigue surrounding him and the role of the church in the social order. He muses on the differences between Italian and French society, art, and religious practices. The author's frank and nuanced observations provide a vivid account of this transformative period in Italy's history, shedding light on the social and artistic tensions that shaped a society in flux.
