Millon discusses the key features of Baroque architecture, including its use of dramatic lighting, ornate decoration, and grandiose forms. He also explores the religious and political contexts in which Baroque architecture flourished, and the ways in which it was used to express power and authority.The second part of the book focuses on the Rococo style, which emerged in France in the early 18th century as a reaction against the grandeur of Baroque architecture.
