Baroque style
DEFINIZIONE
- The Baroque style took place in Europe between c.1600 and c.1750. It is broadly accepted today that ‘Baroque’ implies dynamism and movement, and a theatricality dependent on a mastery of space and geometry. All Baroque art is indebted to the technical achievements of the Renaissance. Essentially a Catholic art, the Baroque spread from Italy to Spain, the Spanish Netherlands, and later to southern Germany. The main fabrics of the beginning of the 18th century are the "bizarre fabrics", in vibrant colours strongly contrasted with floral motifs. These fabrics were followed by those who order their decorations in symmetrical compositions of vertical undulating evolution, with softer colours. Simultaneously, the fabrics coexist to rococo taste with its subtle palette of pastel colors. The discoveries of the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum make the colors of Pompeii's frescoes fashionable along with decorative elements of that moment.
