5 Baroque Art – 1600-1750 Begins in Rome
-Renaissance artists did everything “perfectly”, so it was a time to change… -Reaction to Mannerism 2. Every country that develops it, adds its own “spin” 3. Most common element = Use of light to achieve maximum emotional impact. 4. Patrons = wealthy & burghers looking for home improvements for living rooms… 5. Emphasis on emotion + dynamism rather than rationality + stasis

6 Two distinct “schools” of Baroque Art:
Catholic Countries: Italy, Flanders (Flemish), Spain, France Protestant Countries: England & Holland (Dutch)

7 Baroque Art – Catholic Countries: Italy, Flanders (Flemish), Spain, France Common Traits that reflect the values of the time: -Gigantic religious works to display their faith’s triumph and to over-whelm and attract new worshippers. -Massive displays of wealth by absolute monarchs to enchant and impress visitors.

8 Baroque Art – Catholic Countries: Italy, Flanders (Flemish), Spain, France What to look for: -Use of light – harsh light from single source to concentrate your eye (chiaroscuro but for focal point…). -Saints and miracles looking like ordinary people and events -dynamic explosion of energy – images captured at height of action -VERY fat female nudes -portraits – posed to show refinement but looked “real”

This supreme example of Baroque art was the first masterpiece that the twenty-six year old genius, Gianlorenzo Bernini made for St. Peter's Basilica.

24 In the seventeenth century, France was the most powerful country in the world and Louis XIV tapped the finest talents to glorify his monarchy. France replaced Rome as the center of European art (a distinction it held until WWII) even though its art was modeled on Roman relics… Poussin was the most famous French artist. Painted antiquity – French Baroque art is often referred to as “Classicism” because it was copied so often during the next 200 years.
