The document provides information about Baroque architecture. It began in the late 16th century in Italy as a new theatrical style that used Roman vocabulary from the Renaissance. Baroque architecture was characterized by new explorations of form, light, shadow, and dramatic intensity. Instead of straight classical lines, Baroque featured curved and broken lines, more elaborate decoration, and complex shapes. Two influential Baroque architects were Bernini and Borromini, who worked primarily in Rome on churches like St. Peter's and Sant'Andrea al Quirinale.
Baroque and Rococo architecture originated in the late 16th century in Italy and spread across Europe. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a response to the Protestant Reformation. Key features included dramatic use of light and color, complex shapes, and blending of painting and architecture. Significant architects included Bernini, Borromini, and Maderno in Italy. Their works, such as St. Peter's Basilica and Sant'Andrea al Quirinale church, featured bold domes, colonnades, and elaborate ornamentation. Rococo architecture was a late Baroque style using more simplified forms and illusionistic painting.

St. Peter's Basilica
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger submitted a plan for St. Peter's Basilica that combined features of Peruzzi, Raphael and Bramante. His design extended the building into a short nave with a wide facade and portico. His proposal for the dome was more elaborate in both structure and decoration than Bramante's.
Palazzo Farnese
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger designed and oversaw construction of the Palazzo Farnese, a large Renaissance palace in Rome. The palace features a rusticated basement and piano nobile separated by an imposing cornice. Its facade employs pilasters and entablatures in
Rococo and Baroque were 18th century artistic styles that influenced architecture, interior design, and other art forms. Rococo developed in France as a more ornate and whimsical interpretation of Baroque, featuring light colors, asymmetry, and natural motifs. Notable Rococo buildings included palaces in Russia, Portugal, and Germany. Baroque preceded Rococo and emphasized grandeur, symmetry, and strict order. It originated in Rome and was used by the Catholic Church to showcase its wealth and power through dramatic lighting, ornate decorations, and large-scale art. Baroque architecture spread across Europe and Latin America in the 17th century.
Comparative Analysis between Gothic Architecture & Renaissance Architecture.MussabbirulMuhit
The document provides a comparative analysis of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. It discusses key differences in their time periods, styles, and prominent examples. Gothic architecture originated in 12th century France and used pointed arches, spires, stained glass windows and elaborate sculptures to emphasize verticality, as seen in Amiens Cathedral. Renaissance architecture emerged in 15th century Florence and was inspired by classical Roman symmetry, geometry and orders. This is exemplified by St. Peter's Basilica, which uses pilasters, symmetrical facades and domes rather than the intricate designs of Gothic cathedrals.
Baroque architecture originated in the late 16th century and is characterized by dramatic lighting, colorful interiors, intricate sculptures, and unfinished elements. There were three phases - Early Baroque from 1584-1625, High Baroque from 1625-1675, and Late Baroque from 1675-1750. Some iconic examples include St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, San Carlo Alle Quattro Fontane in Rome designed by Francesco Borromini, the Palace of Versailles designed for King Louis XIV, and the Trevi Fountain in Rome designed by Nicola Salvi and Giuseppe Pannini. Baroque architecture spread across Europe and was aimed at creating a sense of dramatic
The document discusses the origins and key characteristics of Gothic art and architecture. It began in 12th century France as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses allowed for taller buildings with more windows. Gothic cathedrals featured stained glass, sculpture, and were designed to glorify God through light and religious imagery. The style spread across Europe influencing painting, sculpture, and other architecture like castles through the 15th century before Renaissance ideals emerged.
The document discusses several key aspects of Rococo architecture. It began as a lighter, more ornate version of Baroque architecture, with more elaborate details. Rococo originated in decorative arts but showed in painting through delicate colors, curving forms, and mythological subjects. While sometimes seen as too frivolous for churches, Rococo could be incorporated into sacred spaces if toned down. Examples of notable Rococo staircases and sculptures are provided.
Leon Battista Alberti was an Italian architect, linguist, and poet during the Renaissance period. He is notable for three works - Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, Palazzo Rucellai in Florence, and Santa Maria Novella in Florence. For Santa Maria Novella, Alberti attempted to bring classical proportions and detailing to the existing Gothic church, adding Corinthian columns, pilasters, and an upper section to the facade. At Palazzo Rucellai, Alberti designed the symmetrical facade using the three classical orders of architecture in an upward progression inspired by the Colosseum. For St. Andrea in Mantua, Alberti designed the church based on a triumphal arch motif
The document provides an overview of Baroque and Rococo architecture and art in Europe between the 17th and 18th centuries. It discusses the spread of European colonization and the wealth this brought monarchies. The Protestant Reformation led Catholic churches to use elaborate ceremonies and art to attract followers. The Baroque and Rococo styles featured complex geometric forms, use of light and shadow, and ornate decor. Examples are given of churches, palaces and other buildings built in these styles in Italy, Austria, Germany and France by architects like Bernini, Borromini, Neumann and Mansart.
Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472 CE) was an Italian Renaissance scholar and architect who wrote influential treatises on architecture and the arts. He designed many churches using classical elements, most notably the Basilica of Sant'Andrea in Mantua (1470 CE), considered one of the first monumental classicizing buildings of the Renaissance. Some key works he designed include the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, featuring a triumphal arch facade, and the Palazzo Rucellai in Florence, one of the first buildings to use pilasters and entablatures in a proportional grid-like design.
The Cathedral of Florence is a Gothic-style church built between 1296 and 1436. It has an enormous dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi that was an architectural marvel when constructed during the Renaissance. The cathedral features extensive use of colored marble on its exterior and interior, along with sculptures and frescoes by many renowned Renaissance artists. It remains one of the most significant cathedrals in Italy due to its architectural innovations and artistic works.
Andrea Palladio was an influential Renaissance architect who developed a classical style inspired by Roman architecture. He is known for designing villas and churches with symmetrical facades and proportions based on Roman temples. His most famous works include the Villa Barbaro, with its symmetrical wings and central block resembling a temple front, and the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza, which features a brilliant white facade with superimposed pediments and engaged columns supporting the nave. Palladio's designs emphasized symmetry, harmony of proportions, and references to classical antiquity.

3. The full Baroque aesthetic
emerged during the Early
Baroque, and High Baroque;
both periods were led by Italy.
The Baroque age concluded
with the French-born
Rococo style (ca. 1725-
1800), in which the violence
and drama of Baroque was
quieted to a gentle, playful
dynamism. The Late Baroque
and Rococo periods were led
by France
Baroque
The fundamental
characteristic of Baroque art
is dynamism (a sense of
motion). Strong curves, rich
decoration, and general
complexity are all typical
features of Baroque art.
4. The Baroque is a period of artistic style
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,
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 the dramatic style
of Baroque architecture and art as a means
of impressing visitors and expressing
triumph, power and control. Baroque
palaces are built around an entrance of
courts, grand staircases and reception
rooms of sequentially increasing
opulence. However, "baroque" has
resonance and application that extend
beyond a simple reduction to either style
or period.
5. Baroque architecture is the
building style of the Baroque
era, begun in late 16th-
century Italy, that took the
Roman vocabulary of
Renaissance architecture
and used it in a new
rhetorical and theatrical
fashion.
It was characterized by new
explorations of form, light
and shadow, and dramatic
intensity.
The Baroque was, initially
at least, directly linked to
the Counter-Reformation, a
movement within the
Catholic Church to reform
itself in response to the
Protestant Reformation.
Baroque architecture and its
embellishments were on the
one hand more accessible to
the emotions and on the
other hand, a visible
statement of the wealth and
power of the Church.
The new style manifested
itself in particular in the
context of the new religious
orders, like the Theatines
and the Jesuitswho aimed to
improve popular faith.

The most impressive display of
Churrigueresque (Spanish Baroque style)
spatial decoration found in the west façade

Church of Sant’Agnese in
Agone, in Piazza Navona,

Francesco Borromini and
Gianlorenzo Bernini (bitter
rivals) worked on the church.
6. Distinctive features of Baroque
architecture can include:
1. In churches, broader naves and
sometimes given oval forms.
2. Fragmentary or deliberately
incomplete architectural elements.
3. Dramatic use of light; either strong
light-and-shade contrasts as at the
church of Weltenburg Abbey, or
uniform lighting by means of several
windows.
4. Opulent use of colour and
ornaments (putti or figures made of
wood (often gilded), plaster or stucco,
marble or faux finishing).
5. Large-scale ceiling frescoes.
6. An external façade often
characterized by a dramatic central
projection.
7. The interior is a shell for painting,
sculpture and stucco
8. Illusory effects like 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.
9. Pear-shaped domes in the Bavarian,
Czech, Polish and Ukrainian Baroque
10. Marian and Holy Trinity columns
erected in Catholic countries, often in
thanksgiving for ending a plague

Its facade is "the

baroque style into
architecture.

12. Francesco Borromini was the master of curved-wall architecture. Though he designed many large buildings, Borromini's most
famous and influential work may be the small church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane ("Saint Charles at the Four
Fountains").
The concave-convex
facade of San Carlo
undulates in a non-
classic way.
Tall Corinthian
columns stand on
plinths and bear the
main entablatures;
these define the main
framework of two
storeys and the
tripartite bay division.
Between the columns,
smaller columns with
their entablatures
weave behind the
main columns and in
turn they frame
niches, windows, a
variety of sculptures
as well as the main
door,
13. The three
principal parts can
be identified
vertically as the
lower order at
ground level, the
transition zone of
the pendentives
and the oval
coffered dome
with its oval
lantern.
14. The pendentives are part of the transition
area where the undulating almost cross-
like form of the lower order is reconciled
with the oval opening to the dome. The
arches which spring from the diagonally
placed columns of the lower wall order
frame the altars and entrance.
The oval entablature to the dome has a
'crown' of foliage and frames a view of
deep set interlocking coffering of
octagons, crosses and hexagons which
diminish in size the higher they rise.
Light floods in from windows in the lower
dome that are hidden by the oval opening
and from windows in the side of the
lantern. In a hierarchical structuring of
light.
15. The church of
Sant'Andrea al
Quirinale, an
important example of
Roman Baroque
architecture, was
designed by Gian
Lorenzo Bernini
with Giovanni
de'Rossi.
Unlike San Carlo,
Sant’Andrea is set
back from the street
and the space outside
the church is
enclosed by low
curved quadrant
walls.
An oval cylinder
encases the dome,
and large volutes
transfer the lateral
thrust. The main
façade to the street
has a pedimented
frame at the center of
which a semicircular
porch with two Ionic
columns marks the
main entrance.
16. In contrast to the dark side
chapels, the high altar niche
is well lit from a hidden
source and becomes the
main visual focus of the
lower part of the interior. As
a result, the congregation
effectively become
‘witnesses’ to the theatrical
narrative of St Andrew
which begins in the High
Altar chapel and culminates
in the dome.

18. Inside, the main entrance is located on
the short axis of the church and
directly faces the high altar. The oval
form of the main congregational space
of the church is defined by the wall,
pilasters and entablature, which
frame the side chapels, and the golden
dome above. Large paired columns
supporting a curved pediment
differentiate the recessed space of the
high altar from the congregational
space.
19. Baroque in Residencies and Palaces
The Late Baroque marks the ascent of France as the
heart of Western culture. Baroque art of France tends to
be restrained.
The most distinctive element of French Baroque
architecture is the double-sloped mansard roof.
The most famous Baroque structures of France are
magnificent chateaux (grand country residences),
greatest of which is the Palace of Versailles. The Palace
of Louvre in France and Blenheim Palace in England are
other fine examples.
20. Vaux-le-Vicomte
The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a baroque French château located in
Maincy.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century
Europe. At Vaux-le-Vicomte, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape
architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun
worked together on a large-scale project for the first time.
Their collaboration marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style"
combining architecture, interior design and landscape design.

22. THE LOUVRE
• The LOUVRE museum is one of the
world's largest museums and a historic
monument in Paris,France on the right
bank of the river Seine. Presently used
as a very famous art museum , design /
textile museum , historic site
transformed from a royal palace . The
building was first made with an
intention of a fortress by Philippe ||
France .
• LOUVRE Begun in 1190 and
constructed of cut stone, the Louvre is a
masterpiece of the French renaissance .
Architect Pierre Lescot was one of the
first to apply pure classical ideas in
France, and his design for a new wing at
the Louvre defined its future
development.
23. The present-day Louvre Palace is a
vast complex of wings and
pavilions on four main levels
which, although it looks to be
unified, is the result of many
phases of building, modification,
destruction and restoration.
24. From the
renaissance their
are famous
works of
Michelangelo's
slaves , Leonardo
da Vinci's
Monalisa and
works by
Raphael Botticelli
and titian .
French master
piece include
engrace la ingres
‘la grande
odalisque.’
25. Francesco Borromini, was an
Italian architect who, with his
contemporaries Gian Lorenzo
Bernini was a leading figure in
the emergence of Roman
Baroque architecture.
Borromini developed an
inventive and distinctive, if
somewhat peculiar,
architecture employing
manipulations of Classical
architectural forms,
geometrical rationales in his
plans and symbolic meanings in
his buildings.
He seems to have had a sound
understanding of structures,
His soft lead drawings are
particularly distinctive. He
appears to have been a self-
taught scholar.

26. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was an Italian artist and a
prominent architect who worked principally in Rome. He
was the leading sculptor of his age, credited with creating
the Baroque style of sculpture. In addition, he painted,
wrote plays, and designed metalwork and stage sets.
Baroque Art: Bernini
Bernini possessed the
ability to depict dramatic
narratives with characters
showing intense
psychological states, but
also to organize large-scale
sculptural works which
convey a magnificent
grandeur.
His skill in manipulating
marble ensured that he
would be considered a
worthy successor of
Michelangelo.

28. The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola
Salvi. it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.
29. Caravaggio trained as a painter in
Milan. In his twenties Caravaggio
moved to Rome where there was a
demand for paintings to fill the
many huge new churches and
palazzos being built at the time.
It was also a period when the
Church was searching for a stylistic
alternative to Mannerism in
religious art that was tasked to
counter the threat of Protestantism.
Caravaggio's innovation was a
radical naturalism that combined
close physical observation with a
dramatic, even theatrical, and the
shift from light to dark with little
intermediate value.

32. Rembrandt van Rijn was a
Dutch painter and etcher. He
is generally considered one
of the greatest painters and
printmakers in European art
and the most important in
Dutch history.
His contributions to art came
in a period of great wealth
and cultural achievement
that historians call the Dutch
Golden Age although in
many ways antithetical to
the Baroque style that
dominated Europe.
Rembrandt's greatest
creative triumphs are
exemplified especially in his
portraits of his
contemporaries, self-
portraits and illustrations of
scenes from the Bible. His
self-portraits form a unique
and intimate biography, in
which the artist surveyed
himself without vanity and
with the utmost sincerity.
33. Baroque Art:
Vermeer
Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior
scenes of middle-class life.
Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes. "Almost all his paintings are apparently
set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and
decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly
women.“
Vermeer's painting techniques have long been a source of debate, given their almost
photorealistic attention to detail, despite Vermeer having had no formal training.

35. It is characterized by lightness,
elegance, and an exuberant use
of curving, natural forms in
ornamentation. The word
Rococo is derived from the
French word rocaille, which
denoted the shell-covered rock
work that was used to decorate
artificial grottoes.
Rococo
Rococo style, in interior design,
the decorative arts, painting,
architecture, and sculpture that
originated in Paris in the early
18th century but was soon
adopted throughout France and
later in other countries,
principally Germany and
Austria.
38. At the outset the Rococo style
represented a reaction against
the ponderous design of Louis
XIV’s Palace of Versailles and
the official Baroque art of his
reign.
Several interior designers,
painters developed a lighter
and more intimate style of
decoration for the new
residences of nobles in Paris.
In the Rococo style, walls,
ceilings, and moldings were
decorated with delicate
interlacings of curves and
counter-curves based on the
fundamental shapes of the “C”
and the “S,” as well as with
shell forms and other natural
shapes.
Asymmetrical design was the
rule. Light pastels, ivory
white, and gold were the
predominant colours, and
Rococo decorators frequently
used mirrors to enhance the
sense of open space.
39. Nymphenburg Palace in Munich
The Nymphenburg Palace, located in Munich, Bavaria, Germany,
is a decorated palace and also the Bavarian rulers summer
residence. Agostino Barelli, an Italian architect, designed the
Nymphenburg Palace.
