Baroque Baroque - From the Portuguese or Spanish “barroco” meaning “rough of imperfect pearl.” Refers to something being elaborate; with many details. An insulting term used by historians who preferred the Renaissance. Overview: The Baroque came about in Rome near the end of the 16th century Artists were good at drawing and painting the human figure and reproducing complicated perspective. There is much use of colour and value contrasts in painting. The style is characterized by TIME, LIGHT and SPACE.

Time: Captures a brief moment in time; often through a sense of frozen movement.

Light: Often a dramatic use of light and shadow. In painting through Chiaroscuro and Tenebrism. In Architecture and Sculpture, through curves and undulating surfaces to reflect the light and cast deep shadows. Light: Chiaroscuro – “Coming out of the darkness.” Where areas with lighter values seem to emerge from areas of surrounding darkness. Tenebrism – Exaggerated strong contrasts between light and dark seen in late 16th century painting. A more dramatic version of chiaroscuro.

Space: Artists are creating works that appear to occupy the same space as the viewer. Sculpture physically interacts with the viewer’s space in all directions. Painting has perfected and pushed the boundaries of perspective through the technique of foreshortening. Architecture uses convex and concave forms to create a sense of interesting space for visitors. Foreshortening – Drawing / painting an object or person that is not parallel to the picture plane. It makes the object / person appear to recede into space.

Italian Baroque… Baroque Art began in Rome around 1600 AD Baroque artists were experts at creating realistic human proportions from almost any angle and scenes with complex realistic perspective. Highly religious and emotional. Influenced by the Counter-Reformation because the Art is meant to help ordinary people connect with the Catholic religion. Patrons: Church, Royalty & Nobility
