Resplendent in its elaborate beauty, baroque art
embodies an era of immense religious upheaval in
Western culture—the Catholic Counter-Reformation.
In this lecture, Taylor Hagood will explore the
forces driving the development of baroque architectural style
and the powerful images of Caravaggio, Velázquez, Rubens,
Rembrandt, and other artists throughout Europe in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Taylor Hagood, Ph.D. lectures on literature, art, history, travel,
music, and the history of magic. His publications include the C.
Hugh Holman Award-winning Faulkner, Writer of Disability and
Secrecy, Magic, and the One-Act Plays of Harlem Renaissance
Women Writers. A former Fulbright Professor at Ludwig-
Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich, Germany, he is currently
