The city was full of Egyptian objects of various sizes, from the obelisks which began being re-erected at this time, to the smaller statues and statuettes. Rome in 1600 was a city poised on change. The impact of Baroque Egyptology are possibly more profound than any other modern cultural trend, including the Renaissance and yet it is still little known. This was the Baroque and the ancient culture was Egyptian.
Sounds like the Renaissance, but it wasn’t.
An ancient culture was rediscovered and created the modern world.
A new way of seeing the world inspired writers, artists and architects to create profound new works of art. Startling new discoveries from the ground or from dusty libraries, shook the centre of Christendom and changed it forever.
