The simple beauty which distinguished the works of art of the fifteenth century , and the richness and dignity which they displayed in the sixteenth, were succeeded in the seventeenth by a style in which were exaggerated all the defects of the Renaissance, and from which almost all its merits were left out, and which reflected the unbridled licence and effeminate luxury of the age. It was neither classical nor gothic. Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini β was the chief master of this style, and the extent to which: unmeaning and capricious decoration was indulged in is seen in his bronze Baldacchino i.
His greatest architectural work is the colossal colonnade in front of St. Peter's Fig. Bernini was also famous as a sculptor. One of his best works is a group of Apollo and Daphne, finished in his eighteenth year. His rival, Francesco Borromini β , endeavoured to outdo him by even greater exaggeration of ornament.
From his buildings rectilinear forms disappear almost entirely,βeven the gables of the windows, the cornices, and the entablatures are broken and contorted, so that all regularity of design is last, and an effect produced of painful confusion and instability.

To the publishers I am indebted for the very valuable assistance of no less than 76 new engravings which tend so much to illustrate the distinctive peculiarities of the various epochs in the history of art.
EHA 6. THHE fine arts once played a very important part in the refined and intellectual life of this country ; but since the close of the middle ages they have been undervalued and neglected among us. Happily at the present day many signs of a revival are presenting them selves, and art is now in much greater danger of being misunderstood than forgotten. Classical languages are no longer the only instruments of culture, and literary attain ments have now ceased to be considered β as they for long were β the sole objects of a cultivated man's ambition ; for causes of an almost opposite nature have largely directed attention to science and to the arts.
