Introduction to Baroque - 4ESO - Institut Jaume Callís (Vic)
1. Stone becomes flesh and ceilings dissolve into the infinity
of heaven—artists such as Bernini, Caravaggio, Rubens,
Velazquez and Rembrandt were masters of drama and
illusion.
2. BARROCO - An irregular shaped pearl,
Abnormal, grotesque, exaggerated (Spanish,
Portuguese)
BAROCO -Bizarre, eccentric or strange (Italian)
3. The Baroque is a period that used exaggerated
motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce
drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in
sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance,
theater, and music. The style began around 1600
in Rome and Italy, and spread to most of Europe.
The popularity and success of the Baroque style was
encouraged by the Catholic Church, which had
decided at the time of the Council of Trent, in
response to the Protestant Reformation, that the arts
should communicate religious themes in direct and
emotional involvement. The aristocracy also saw
Baroque architecture and art as a means of
impressing visitors and expressing triumph, power
and control.
