This article presents information about the book "Bernini and Other Studies in the History of Art," by Richard Norton. In this book Norton indicates the swing back from that cult of the primitive which has narrowed the art criticism of the past fifty years. Indeed, it is one of the curiosities of opinion that the world has agreed to find vulgar and detestable in painting and sculpture those qualities of full-blown exuberance which it has never ceased to admire in the music and literature of the early seventeenth century.
