Baroque Art & Architecture

Baroque •  1600 – 1750

•  From a Portuguese word “barocca”, meaning “a pearl of irregular shape”

•  Implies strangeness, irregularity, and extravagance

•  The more dramatic, the better!

Baroque Style of Art & Architecture

•  Dramatic, emotional

•  Colors were brighter than bright; darks were darker than dark

•  Counter-Reformation art

•  Paintings & sculptures in church contexts should speak to the illiterate rather than to the well-informed

•  Ecclesiastical art --> appeal to emotions

•  Holland --> Real people portrayed as the primary subjects
