Book excerpt: During the span from the early 17th century until the 1740s, Europe witnessed the flourishing of the Baroque style across various artistic realms such as architecture, music, dance, painting, and sculpture. This cultural movement persisted, coexisting with emerging artistic forms, within the realms of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, including the Iberian Peninsula, until the initial years of the nineteenth century. Positioned chronologically between Renaissance art and Mannerism on one side and the Rococo (sometimes referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles on the other, Baroque art in Lutheran regions also developed, although it primarily found support from the Catholic Church as a counterbalance to the simplicity and austerity prevalent in Protestant architecture, art, and music. In order to evoke a profound sense of awe, the Baroque style accentuated elements of contrast, movement, intricate detail, vibrant color, grandiosity, and unexpected surprises. Originating in Rome at the outset of the 17th century, this stylistic wave rapidly expanded its influence across France, northern Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, southern Germany, and Russia. By the 1730s, it underwent transformation into the rocaille or Rococo style, gaining popularity in France and Central Europe until the mid- to late-eighteenth century. Renowned for its opulent and intricate ornamentation in the realm of decorative arts, the Baroque style paved distinctive paths in each country's departure from Renaissance classicism. Despite the diversity in these trajectories, a common thread persists – the Renaissance aesthetic elements serve as the foundational point. The classical repertory is densely packed, thick, overlapping, and laden to create startling effects. Elements such as cartouches, trophies, weaponry, fruit or flower baskets, and other innovative themes introduced by the Baroque movement find expression through marquetry, stucco, or carved forms. This intricate tapestry of artistic expression characterizes the Baroque era, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Europe.

Baroque and Rococo styles and forms extended to and embellished virtually every aspect of European life, and M. Bazin has not overlooked any detail in this remarkable totality: tapestries, furniture, porcelain, pottery, and jewelry -- as well as the masterpieces of the fine arts -- are discussed in the text and shown in hundreds of faithful and luminous reproductions.

Download or read book Baroque Art written by Klaus H. Carl and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2024-07-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baroque period lasted from the beginning of the 17th-century to the middle of the 18th-century. Baroque art was artists' response to the Catholic Church's demand for solemn grandeur following the Council of Trent, and through its monumentality and grandiloquence, it seduced the great European courts. Amongst the Baroque arts, architecture has, without doubt, left the greatest mark in Europe: the continent is dotted with magnificent Baroque churches and palaces, commissioned by patrons at the height of their power. The works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini of the Southern School and Peter Paul Rubens of the Northern School alone show the importance of this artistic period. Rich in images encompassing the arts of painting, sculpture and architecture, this work offers a complete insight into this passionate period in the history of art.

Download or read book Transformations written by Christopher Tadgell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented in scope - like its companion volume on the High Renaissance, Mannerism - this sixth volume in the Architecture in Context series traces the development of architecture and decoration in the 17th and early 18th centuries - particularly the transformation of rationalist Classical ideals into the emotive, highly theatrical style known as Baroque and the further development away from architectonic principles to the free-ranging decorative style known as Rococo. It begins with an outline of the politics of Absolutism and its opposite over the century from the Thirty Years' War to the War of the Austrian Succession: this is illustrated with images largely chosen from the major artists of the day; a supplementary introduction outlines the cross-currents of painting in the early Baroque era. The first substantive section deals with the seminal masters active in Rome - Maderno, Cortona, Borromini and Bernini - and their contemporaries there, in Venice and in Piedmont. The second section deals with the seminal French masters - above all François Mansart, Louis Le Vau, Andre Le Nôtre, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and the latter's followers who developed the Rococo style in the domestic field. The rest of the book is divided into three large sections: the Protestant North - the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Britain; the Divided Centre - the Catholic powers of central Europe and southern Germany, the Protestants of northern Germany and the Orthodox Russians; the Catholic South - the Iberian kingdoms and their dominions in southern Italy and the Americas.
