Michelangelo’s toying with Classicism inspired Mannerism, a movement that paralleled the Late Renaissance until the arrival of the Baroque
Baroque architecture aims at suggesting movement 1) by warping Classicism (e.g. the circle to the oval), 2) by the idea that ‘more is better’ (e.g. multiplication of supports), and 3) by playing with lines, namely broken ones
Review
Baroque Architecture, St. Lawrence, 2017-10-01, Beaudoin
The “expansion” of the world fragilized man’s confidence in his understanding of it and shattered his idealized epistemological tower
However, with reality superseding idealism, a new dynamic approach to scientific analysis took hold of man’s spirit, which translated in art by a focus on movement and no-longer-idealized Classicism
Conclusion
