2. BAROQUE
• Baroque art emerged around the
year 1600, about 70 years after
the end of the Early Renaissance
in France and the High
Renaissance in Italy.
• The term “Baroque” is thought to
have emerged from the Italian
word barocco, which was used by
Medieval philosophers to refer to
an “obstacle in schematic
logic.” Barocco later became a
term for any contorted idea or
complex thought process.

6. ROCOCO
• At the turn of the 18th century came
the period of Enlightenment (1700-
1780). This was a celebration of reason,
whereby “the goals of rational
humanity were considered to be
knowledge, freedom, and happiness.”
• Rococo arose in France in the early
1700s, which had already shown signs
of breaking from Baroque with its own
French Baroque style. Rococo was not,
of course, associated with the church,
but rather with French King Louis XV.
The movement later spread to other
European countries throughout the
18th century.

10. WHAT IS DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN BAROQUE AND
ROCOCO?
• In France, baroque and rococo
were stylistic periods that
occurred back-to-
back. Baroque is a serious,
more provocative style, while
rococo relies on a sense of
lightness and playfulness. You
can distinguish these two
styles by focusing on their
mood, function, and method.
