“Nec pluribus impar (não inferior a outros)
- Louis XIV, King of France”
Verbo, Os Grandes da História Luis XIV O Rei Sol

Arnold Hauser
“As an artistic style, mannerism conformed to a divided outlook on life which was, nevertheless, spread uniformly all over Western Europe; the baroque is the expression of an intrinsically more homogeneous world-view, but one which assumes a variety of shapes in the different European countries. Mannerism, like Gothic, was a universal European phenomenon, even if it was restricted to much narrower circles than the Christian art of the Middle Ages; the baroque, on the other hand, embraces so many ramifications of artistic endeavor, appears in so many different forms in the individual countries and spheres of culture, that it seems doubtful at first sight whether it is possible to reduce them all to a common denominator.”
Arnold Hauser, The Social History of Art: Volume 2: Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque
