Baroque Art
6:55 AM
Catholic inspired Baroque art tended to be
large-scale works of public art, such us monumental wall paintings and huge
frescoes for the ceilings and vaults of palaces and churches. New techniques of
tenebrism and chiaroscuro were developed to enhance atmosphere. Brushwork is
creamy and broad, often resulting in thick impasto. However, the theatricality
and melodrama of Baroque painting was not well received by later critics.
Baroque sculpture, typically larger than life size, is marked by a similar
sense of dynamic movement, along with an active use of space.
Baroque art is more on adapting the styles and also known as the age of genius because of Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei and Albert Einstein. This period has the five characteristics motion, space, time, light and drama we can see those characteristics on their artwork and their style on their artworks are naturalism, classicism and realism. I was so amazed on the story behind the artwork Judith and Holefernes we can see the five characteristics on the artwork specially the drama and light. Also the artwork Sussannah and the Elders by Artimisia Gentilischi and Jacopo Tintoretto. Both of that painting just really amazed me (:
