BaroqueBaroque► 1600 – 1750.
► From a Portuguese word “barocca”, meaning “a pearl of irregular shape.”
► Implies strangeness, irregularity, and extravagance. (inspired by later work of Michelangelo and Donatello)
► The more dramatic, the better! –
ART -- emotion, drama, motion, and striving; mysticism
Music was religious based but also emphasized secular world – invention, tension, and emotion in music – COMPLEXITY!
Ex. Johann Sabestian Bach; Jean-Baptiste Lully; Domenico Scarlatti; George Frederick Handel
