Category:Baroque art on stamps
The European Baroque was no unique art style. Rather this term denotes a summary of different art styles inside a certain period which involves the works of the period between the end of the 16th century to ca. 1760/1770 with fluent transitions. Chronological seen one can distinguish between
- a) the Early Baroque until ca. 1650
- b) the High Baroque in the time between 1650 - 1700
- c) the Late Baroque in the time 1700 - 1730
- d) the Rococo in the time 1730 - 1760s
- e) the Classicistic Baroque and the Palladianism in the transistion time to the classicism
Predecessor style: Renaissance and Mannerism
Successor style: Classicism
Parallel style in Europe: Genre painting (with faded distinction)
Initially was the baroque the art style of the Counter-Reformation and the catholicism, later it was the art of the absolutism. Point of origin were the rich Italian noblesse republics, from there it's expatiated upon Europe over Spain, England (constitutional monarchy) and France (absolutistic monarchy) and also to the non-catholic rest-Europe. However, pure baroque art in Central Europe and Germany and northern and eastern of that is relatively rare, especially during and after the time of the Thirthy-Years-War 1618-1648. Characteristical for the baroque is among others especially a general expressiveness, a movement in all his forms, an emphasis of the feeling, and all in combination with a luxurious display of splendour (e.g. by representative rooms in the architecture). First in the end phase appears again the classical proportions and sobriety of the Renaissance. The word is coming from old-French "baroque" or old-Italian "barocco" and means "quaint" and was originally applied mainly for stucco elements.
