What are the representative paintings of Baroque?

Baroque is a style term, which refers to1the main artistic style popular in Europe from the beginning of the 7th century to1the first half of the 8th century. The word comes from Portuguese barroco, which means irregular pearl. Renaissance humanist writers used this word to criticize works of art that were not made according to classical norms. Although baroque style inherited the tradition of illusion reappearance established in the Renaissance, it abandoned the simple, harmonious and steady classical style and pursued a complex, magnificent, magnificent and dynamic artistic realm. The greatest representative of Baroque style in painting is Flanders painter Rubens, and the main representative in architecture and sculpture is Italian bernini.

Baroque refers to an artistic style.

Since the eighteenth century, art historians and archaeologists have paid special attention to the study of style. The so-called "style" means that a work is composed in a certain combination way, which has its inherent harmony and consistency, but it is obviously different from other styles, so it can give people a deep impression. The formation of style is, of course, a manifestation of the artistic maturity of a certain era and the author.

However, Baroque, as a style, has always been a controversial issue among art historians. The original meaning of the word "baroque" contains irregular, distorted and grotesque meanings, which is probably a title given by classicists in the18th century to art that their predecessors did not quite agree with. In terms of time, "Baroque" was popular from17th century to18th century. So some people compare the whole art countries of the 17th century-Italy, Spain, Flanders, Holland, France. . . . . . Be included in the scope of "Baroque". But in fact, the wind between them

Baroque has become a unique style because it is obviously different from the Renaissance in artistic spirit and techniques. If the Renaissance can be classified as classicism, Baroque can be classified as romanticism. It developed with the consolidation of aristocratic rule after the restoration of feudal Catholicism. However, we can't simply call "Baroque" art and its representatives "anti" and "retrogressive" art. Although individuals are subject to history, they reflect various historical factors (including all past traditions) and bring new things to contemporary history. This has formed a changeable, rich and gorgeous image of history.

★ Rubens and velazquez are famous.

Rubens (1577- 1640) is a great painter in Flanders. He is the first baroque painter in Europe, and his paintings have the magnificent style of baroque art. Rubens' works eulogize life with poetic expression of life. First of all, he eulogizes that human beings are the most perfect creation in the universe.

He was also educated in humanism. He is famous for painting portraits. He visited Italy twice and studied the works of Venetian painters carefully.
