  1. Baroque

  2. Late 16th century throughout 17th century • Stylistically complex and often containing opposing styles • Emotional response by invoking sensory stimuli • Drama • Movement • Baroque pulled from the emotion and movement idealized in Mannerism • Combined the above with ideals of solidity, formidable figures and grandeur from High Renaissance

  3. Background • Rome artistic capital of Europe again • Catholic church biggest patron of arts • Associated with the Catholic Counter Reformation • Movement spread outward from Rome • Each area modified the movement to fit their ideology….Spain/Latin America more zealous on religious ideology, whereas in Holland it barely appeared • France saw great culmination in Baroque through patronage of Louis XIV, who saw the interaction between the arts culminate in a powerful display of royalty…Versailles and it’s gardens, art, sculptures etc

  4. Notable Artists • From Italy=Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Gianlorenzo Bernini and Andrea Pozzo • From Flanders= Peter Paul Rubens

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio • 1573-1610 • Born in Caravaggio • Orphaned at 11 • Apprenticed to Simone Peterzano for 4 years • Traveled to Rome where a dealer introduced him to Cardinal Francesco del Monte • Commissioned at age 24 to paint at the church San Luigi dei Francesi • Created 3 panel works on St. Matthew that were so realistic and dramatic, people were affronted • Despite criticism…he flourished and became celebrated • Ran into trouble…wanted for murder and fled Rome, waiting for a pardon from the Pope • He traveled incessantly • Ended up in Malta, where he was celebrated as great artist and received pardon • Wrongfully imprisoned for a couple days, the boat that was to take him to Rome left with his possessions but forgot him • He was so despondant, fatigued and ill, he collapsed on beach and died a few days later

  12. Baroque architecture • Utilized to help establish grandeur of Royal class and strengthen ties to Catholic Church • 1) Standard practice to incorporate a horizontal line of statues along roof to hide sloping angles • Introduced this concept to any horizontal line, such as garden walls • 2) Use of statue forms to replace columns: caryatids: uprights in the form of female or telamons : uprights in the male form • 3) Use of freize : coat of arms, trophies etc extolling royalty

  13. Characteristics • Dramatic use of lighting: either strong light-and-shade contrasts (chiaroscuro effects) as at the church of Weltenburg Abbey, or uniform lighting by means of several windows (e.g. church of Weingarten Abbey) • opulent use of colour and ornaments (putti or figures made of wood (often gilded), plaster or stucco, marble or faux finishing) • large-scale ceiling frescoes • an external façade often characterized by a dramatic central projection • the interior is a shell for painting, sculpture and stucco (especially in the late Baroque) • illusory effects like trompe l'oeil(is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.) and the blending of painting and architecture • pear-shaped domes in the Bavarian, Czech, Polish, and Ukrainian Baroque • Marian and Holy Trinity columns erected in Catholic countries, often in thanksgiving for ending a plague
