    of monuments for many
    different purposes. This
    book aims at reassessing
    Wiedewelt's role in the
    service of art, art
    theory, academic

    While the Baroque style

    lighthearted mood began
    in French architectural
    and interior design. This
    book explores artists and
    artistic concepts of the
    18th century.
