3 Europe during the Baroque Period

4 Baroque Painting 1600-1750 - Dramatic - Lush textures, details - Chiaroscuro Lighting - strong contrast between light and dark to achieve contoured form -also includes some less dramatic painters such as Vermeer -Artists trying to lend drama and life to religious scenes -Gentileschi, Caravaggio, Rubens, Rembrandt, Vermeer

5 Caravaggio, The Calling of St. Matthew

6 Artimesia Gentileschi, Judith Beheading Holofernes

7 Pieter Paul Rubens - The Massacre of the Innocents

8 Rembrandt (van Rijn) Widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of all time. Focused mainly on portraiture, landscape and narrative painting (painting that tells a story) Self-portrait

9 Rembrandt – The Night Watch Note: Use of Chiaroscuro Sense of Movement

10 Rubens - The Three Graces Splendour, Mirth, Good Cheer

11 Johannes Vermeer - Girl with a Water Pitcher

12 Johannes Vermeer – Woman Holding a Balance What is depicted? What is the subject matter / Theme? What is the symbolism?

13 Still Life Painting in the Dutch Golden Age (Baroque Period) Rich in Symbolism – objects that symbolize ideas Often depicts items of wealth that could only be obtained through overseas trade (Dutch East India Company) Themes of death, decay, wealth, decadence

14 Vanitas Still Life Jacques De Gheyn 1603 What is the subject matter? What is the theme?

15 Claesz, Still Life with Skull and Writing Quill

16 Davidz de Heem, Banqueting Still Life

17 Claesz, Still Life with Oysters and Nuts

18 De Beyeren, Still Life with Lobster and Fruit

19 Rococo Architecture and Design Intended to convey wealth Especially popular in Catholic countries Louis XIII, Louis XIV of France Word Rococo is derivative of the French term rocaille, which means “rock and shell garden ornamentation”.

20 What does it look like? Move away from symmetry to more fluid designs Very elaborate and “gaudy” Quote: “Rococo was a lifestyle. An opulent, playful embrace of ornate furniture and sculpture, ornamental mirrors, and florid tapestry and architecture. 18th century swag.”

21 Swag these days …

22 Rococo furniture – fluid lines, ornate, gold

23 Versailles Palace of Louis XIV, Built between 1661 And 1710 Queen’s Chamber, Versailles

24 Versailles – Hall of Mirrors

25 Versailles Exterior

26 Rococo Churches – “teeming with life”

27 Rococo Painting

28 So, what is the catalyst here? Effort to popularize religion == more dramatic scenes Absolutist rulers and great difference in wealth between rich and poor == status- conscious art Developments in Renaissance == artists still looking to perfect their interpretation of “reality”
