Baroque► 1600 – 1750.►Art historians use the term to “denote the style associated with 17th century painting, sculpture, and architecture.► 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.
