The Baroque is the term commonly used to indicate the literary culture, philosophy, art and music characteristic of the period from the end of the sixteenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. By extension, then it indicates the name "baroque" style linked to the artistic events of this period.
The term derives from an ancient word Portuguese barroco (barueco in English), used to define a Baroque pearls or a pearl is not cultivated, non-symmetrical. Precisely because of the peculiarities of his style of baroque art approaches the Baroque pearls.
The Council of Trent, which ended in 1563, had marked a milestone in Catholic culture, dictating the rules accurate even for the arts. The aim of painting and sculpture in the churches had to be to also explain to the illiterate episodes of the Bible and the Christian tradition. This drift towards a populist conception of art in religious buildings is regarded by historians as one of the major elements of the innovations of Caravaggio and the Carracci brothers, who worked in Rome in 1600, playing the various work orders.
The charm of the baroque style was derived in a way fully aware of the agility and intellectual qualities of the sixteenth century Mannerist art, extended up to a visceral appeal that pointed to the involvement of the senses. Iconography was used as much as possible direct, simple, obvious, but still play. Baroque art began to emerge on certain trends and the essential heroism of Annibale Carracci and his circle, finding more inspiration in other artists like Correggio and Caravaggio and Federico Barocci, who is referred to as proto-baroque. The embryonic ideas of the Baroque can also be found in Michelangelo Buonarroti. A sort of parallel is possible with the music business, so as to make meaningful and useful the term "baroque music": There are conflicting phrases in length and harmony, counterpoint is taking root replacing polyphony, tone and orchestral amalgam makes its appearance with increasing insistence. Are still many more parallels General advised by some experts in philosophy, literature and poetry, much more difficult to pinpoint.
Although the Baroque, in many centers, is replaced by the Rococo, which takes its moves in France at the end of 1720, particularly as regards the interior, paintings and decorative arts, Baroque architecture is a style present and fully in use until the advent of Neoclassicism in the late eighteenth century. See, for example, the Royal Palace, the Baroque palace (though the exterior is somewhat sober) that is not started if not in 1752. Critics, in fact, no longer speak of a "baroque."
In painting, the forms of the Baroque are broader than Mannerist: less ambiguous, less arcane and mysterious, closer to that work, one of the main forms of Baroque art. The installation depends on the baroque opposed ("opposition"), with the tension that the characters move with the shoulders and hips which are plans that move in opposite directions. See Bernini's David.
scenes drier, less dramatic and less coloring, generally more temperate architecture of the eighteenth century are often framed as separate events late baroque (see Claude Perrault). The phenomenon known as neo-Palladian, played by William Kent is a parallel development that takes place in England and the British colonies. The baroque is
Wolfflin defined by Heinrich (1888) as the period in which the oval gives way to the circle in the center of the compositions, such centralization replaces the balance and from that moment the most vivid and pictorial effects begin to become more apparent.
Some historians, mostly Protestant, have emphasized that the Baroque style occurred in a period when the Roman Catholic Church had to react to the many revolutionary cultural movements that produced new science and new forms of religion, Protestantism. It has been said that the baroque, so monumental, it is the style that could give the papacy, as an absolute monarchy, a way of imposing and formal expression to restore its prestige, to the point of becoming somehow a symbol of the Counter Reformation.
no coincidence that the greatest development occurs in that of Rome, where the Baroque architecture widely renewed the central area of \u200b\u200burban planning with a review which is probably one of the most important.
