This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The baroque style of architecture rose up from the Mannerism of the turn of the seventeenth century, and evolved into the lighter rococo around 1750. At its height, the baroque encompassed all the arts, and the style was freighted with the message of the Counter-Reformation." "This catalogue explores every facet of baroque architecture in Europe. An international team of scholars examines such subjects as the political and religious use of architecture, the birth of the baroque in Rome, landscape, fantasies, and the education of the architect. The second part of the book, a catalogue of works exhibited, illustrates the types of baroque construction: villas and chateaux, military architecture, royal palaces, and gardens."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

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.

Book excerpt: The definition of the Baroque age, meaning he set of complex cultural and artistic expressions that developed in Europe during the 17th century, is still subject to debate among critics and historians. In one of its most commonly accepted meanings, Baroque describes some aspects of 17th century art, with sumptuous Roma at the centre, that upset the proportions and static harmony of the Renaissance - already undermined by Mannerism during the previous century - through the use of curves, strange movements of forms, the daring optics of illusionism and theatricality. Bernini, Borromini, da Cortona and Rubens were, among others decisive examples. In addition to these manifestly theatrical expressions, however, the art of the 17th century also included quite different trends such as the naturalism in the works of Caravaggio, classicism in the works of the Carraccis and of Poussin, the intimacy of Vermeer and the pictorial atmospheres in the works of Rembrandt and Velazquez. A reflection of the social , political, scientific, cultural and religious events that profoundly churned European society, the Baroque illuminated Spain, France, the Netherlands and other areas of Europe, and even the rest of the world,, with new splendor, from the time of its birth in Italy where it was sponsored by the Church and powerful families. At the same time, the emergence of new patrons and collectors meant that it followed new traces encountering music, literature and theatre. At the beginning of the 18th century, following the mature evolution of Baroque art, the Rococo was born in France - and then expanded o the rest of Europe - characterized by airy forms, arabesques, elegance and luminous colours in painting as well as sculpture and architecture; instead of heroic or sacred themes, it embodied a more light-hearted glance at aristocratic life, or scenes of daily life that might be gay or frivolous or even quiet. Watteau, Fragonard, Boucher, Canaletto and Bellotto were representatives of this style in painting while, in architecture, Neumann and the magnificent Residenz in Wurzburg are particularly worthy of note.

Download or read book Classicism Romanticism written by Frederick Antal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1966, Classicism and Romanticism is a collection of important articles originally published in the author's famous book, Florentine Painting and its Social Background. Dr. Antal, a Hungarian by birth, was a man of the wildest culture. He studied art history in the universities of Budapest, Berlin, Paris and Vienna; thereafter, he travelled extensively in Italy, where he devoted himself to pioneering research in the history of mannerist painting. His exceptional sensitivity to the visual arts is apparent in such brilliant stylistic analyses as the essays on Netherlandish mannerism and on Girolamo da Carpi. He is known especially, however, for his application to art history of the sociological method. By returning art to its place in the general history of ideas and relating it to its economic, social, and political environment, he sought to give to the history of art a wider significance ad deeper meaning. This book will be of interest to students of art, history, literature, art history and European studies.
