| The Drunken Hercules by Rubens |
Despite various wars, the Baroque was the style of the seventeenth-century Europe.
The Baroque was passionate, energetic and exciting. Church and palace ceilings were replaced by painted illusions of limitless space, often extravagant and ostentatious, such as the Triumph of Divine Providence for the Palazzo Barberini by Pietro da Cortona.
Sculpture and paintings expand spatially: they evoke emotions and feelings!
The Baroque style took shape in Rome, attracted artists all over Italy, such as collectors and connoisseurs from everywhere, so what was the situation outside Italy?
Come to next series of lectures at New Farm State School during the last term for 2011.
Lessons start on:
Thursday 13th October at 6.30pm.
A presto!
