This fascinating book offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (15981682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena s legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17thcentury basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice s deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century.Andrew Hopkins s lucid and thoughtprovoking text considers the full span of Longhena s illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice s Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 blackandwhite photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena s work is included in an appendix.
