What to look for:

-Use of light – harsh light from single source to concentrate your eye (chiaroscuro but for focal point…).

-Saints and miracles looking like ordinary people and events

-dynamic explosion of energy – images captured at height of action

-VERY fat female nudes

-portraits – posed to show refinement but looked “real”

This supreme example of Baroque art was the first masterpiece that the twenty-six year old genius, Gianlorenzo Bernini made for St. Peter's Basilica. It is impossible not to admire this fantastic, sumptuous bronze canopy supported by four spiral columns, richly decorated with gold, as it majestically rises upward. It is the largest known bronze artwork. He sent most of his life working on St. Peter’s Cathedral

In the seventeenth century, France was the most powerful country in the world and Louis XIV tapped the finest talents to glorify his monarchy. France replaced Rome as the center of European art (a distinction it held until WWII) even though its art was modeled on Roman relics…

Poussin was the most famous French artist.

Painted antiquity – French Baroque art is often referred to as “Classicism” because it was copied so often during the next 200 years.
