1. Baroque and Rococo Art
Baroque art is a period of artistic style, it characterized by energy,
drama and movement. Art that spoke to its resurgent power is a
need for the Church in Rome. This style begins around 1600 in
Rome. A new realism - a special sensitivity to light and also
pervades the art of this period across Europe and can be seen
(Caravoggio, Velazquez, Ruysdael and Vermeer). The Catholic
Church encourages the popularity and success of the Baroque style.
The aristocracy also saw the Baroque dramatic style architecture
and art. Baroque palaces are built around an entrance of courts,
grand staircases and reception rooms of sequentially increasing opulence.
Rococo (late baroque) is an 18th
-century artistic movement and
style that affect many aspects of the art (painting, sculpture,
architecture, interior design, decoration, literature, music and
theatre). More jocular, florid and graceful is used by Rococo
artists and architects than Baroque. Ornate and used light
colors, asymmetrical designs, curves, and gold are Rococo
style. The interior decoration of Rococo rooms was designed
as a total work of art with elegant and ornate furniture, small
sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry complementing
architecture, reliefs and wall paintings. In theatre, Rococo style
is also important. The book [The Rococo] states that no other
culture has produced a wittier, more elegant, and teasing dialogue full of elusive and
camouflaging language and gestures, refined feelings and subtle criticism than Rococo theatre.
