| Hendrik Goltzius Self-portrait ca. 1593-94 chalk drawing Albertina, Vienna |
"The Baroque artist had no idea that he was a Baroque artist, or, at least, he had no strong awareness of belonging to a new phase of the art and culture typical of the Renaissance artist. A feeling of continuity reached across the Mannerist parenthesis to link the Baroque artist to the great protagonists of the art of that rebirth. ... Baroque society was a body, a social organism whose every element had its own special place and function and that was itself internally structured and organized according to recognized and accepted hierarchies. The swath of disorder and confusion undeniably broadened during the Baroque age ... all in all, however, such phenomena seem to have remained under control; in no absolute sense could they be said to have dominated the general climate or overturned the principle of far-flung organization...."
