    “BAROQUE AND

    ROCOC ART”
    BAROQUE
    • The Baroque style is characterized by exaggerated motion
    and clear detail used to produced drama, exuberance, and
    grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature,
    dance, and a music.
    • In fine art, the term Baroque (derived from the Portuguese
    'barocco' meaning, 'irregular pearl or stone') describes a
    fairly complex idiom, originating in Rome, which flowered
    during the period c.1590-1720, and which embraced
    painting, and sculpture as well as architecture.
    BRIEF HISTORY
    • The Baroque was a period in art history that started at the beginning of the 17th-
    century and continued to evolve until the 18th-century. It started in Italy but
    spread to most countries of Europe, and to the colonies in the Americas.
    • The Baroque started as a response of the Catholic Church to the many criticisms
    that arose during the Protestant Reform in the 16th-century. The seat of the
    Catholic Church in the Vatican saw in art an opportunity for reconnecting with
    the people.
    • The Baroque style is characterized by exaggerated motion and clear detail used
    to produce drama, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture,
    literature, dance, and music. Baroque iconography was direct, obvious, and
    dramatic, intending to appeal above all to the senses and the emotions.

    ROCOCO
    • The word “rococo” derives from rocaille, which is French
    for rubble or rock.
    • Rococo, style in interior design, the decorative
    arts, painting, architecture, and sculpture.
    BRIEF HISTORY
    • The father of Rococo painting was Jean Antoine Watteau (French, 1684–1721),
    who invented a new genre called fêtes galantes, which were scenes of courtship
    parties.
    • Genre paintings were popular ways to represent the Rococo period's bold and
    joyous lust for life. This included fete galante, or works denoting outdoor
    pastimes, erotic paintings alive with a sense of whimsical hedonism, Arcadian
    landscapes, and the "celebrity" portrait, which positioned ordinary people in the
    roles of notable historical or allegorical characters.
    • Rococo painting, which originated in early 18th century Paris, is characterized
    by soft colors and curvy lines, and depicts scenes of love, nature, amorous
    encounters, light-hearted entertainment, and youth.
