El barroco en España

Product Information

The reigns of John V and Joseph I had increased imports of gold and diamonds, in a period called Royal Absolutism, which allowed the Portuguese Baroque to flourish. In 1750, Madame de Pompadour sent her nephew, Abel-François Poisson de Vandières, on a two-year mission to study artistic and archeological developments in Italy. He was accompanied by several artists, including the engraver Nicolas Cochin and the architect Soufflot. They returned to Paris with a passion for classical art. Vandiéres became the Marquis of Marigny, and was named Royal Director of buildings in 1754. He turned official French architecture toward Neoclassicism, a movement that heavily takes its inspiration from and tries to revive the art of Ancient Greece and Rome. Cochin became an important art critic; he denounced the petit style of François Boucher (one of the main Rococo painters), and called for a grand style with a new emphasis on antiquity and nobility in the academies of painting of architecture.

In Rome in 1605, Paul V became the first of series of popes who commissioned basilicas and church buildings designed to inspire emotion and awe through a proliferation of forms, and a richness of colours and dramatic effects. [32] Among the most influential monuments of the Early Baroque were the facade of St. Peter's Basilica (1606–1619), and the new nave and loggia which connected the facade to Michelangelo's dome in the earlier church. The new design created a dramatic contrast between the soaring dome and the disproportionately wide facade, and the contrast on the facade itself between the Doric columns and the great mass of the portico. [33] Peter Paul Rubens was the most important painter of the Flemish Baroque style. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens specialized in making altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.

Siendo un pensador que se ha identificado siempre con los valores del Clasicismo (razón, equilibrio, geometría), su reivindicación del Barroco puede parecer paradójica, pero si tenemos en cuenta sus ideas sobre “ironía” y “jerarquía”, entonces cobra un cierto sentido.

Artistas del barroco

In Spain, the sculptor Francisco Salzillo worked exclusively on religious themes, using polychromed wood. Some of the finest baroque sculptural craftsmanship was found in the gilded stucco altars of churches of the Spanish colonies of the New World, made by local craftsmen; examples include the Rosary Chapel of the Church of Santo Domingo in Oaxaca (Mexico), 1724–1731. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), Toccata and Fugue in D minor (1703–1707), Brandenburg Concertos (1721), St Matthew Passion (1727) Ananda Cohen Suarez (May 2016).

Es cierto que sus tesis son escuchadas con interés y se valora su originalidad, pero no se produce ningún vuelco, ningún cambio de paradigma den la historia del Arte. Aunque es cierto que ya se ha abandonado la tesis del Barroco como “apoteosis de la feo” y que hay discusión en torno a su localización geográfica, lo cierto es que la mayoría de los historiadores del arte siguen situando al Barroco entre los siglos XVII y XVIII, y ha habido cierta tendencia a extender al concepto a la literatura y a la música, ningún historiador de las ciencias se ha tomado en serio la tesis de que el descubrimiento de la circulación de la sangre por William Harvey sea un descubrimiento Barroco.Baroque painters worked deliberately to set themselves apart from the painters of the Renaissance and the Mannerism period after it. In their palette, they used intense and warm colours, and particularly made use of the primary colours red, blue and yellow, frequently putting all three in close proximity. [115] They avoided the even lighting of Renaissance painting and used strong contrasts of light and darkness on certain parts of the picture to direct attention to the central actions or figures. In their composition, they avoided the tranquil scenes of Renaissance paintings, and chose the moments of the greatest movement and drama. Unlike the tranquil faces of Renaissance paintings, the faces in Baroque paintings clearly expressed their emotions. They often used asymmetry, with action occurring away from the centre of the picture, and created axes that were neither vertical nor horizontal, but slanting to the left or right, giving a sense of instability and movement. They enhanced this impression of movement by having the costumes of the personages blown by the wind, or moved by their own gestures. The overall impressions were movement, emotion and drama. [116] Another essential element of baroque painting was allegory; every painting told a story and had a message, often encrypted in symbols and allegorical characters, which an educated viewer was expected to know and read.

El Barroco como “estilo de cultura” no se acota, pues, en una época determinada, pero no se agota tampoco en las artes. Así, la escultura policroma española, la filosofía de Giambattista Vico, la pedagogía pestalozziana, el Systema Naturae de Linneo o el descubrimiento de la circulación de la sangre por William Harvey, serían, para D’Ors, expresiones diversas de lo Barroco[8].

Heal, Bridget (20 February 2018). "The Reformation and Lutheran Baroque". Oxford University Press . Retrieved 1 May 2018. However, the writings of theologians can go only so far towards explaining the evolution of confessional consciousness and the shaping of religious identity. Lutheran attachment to religious images was a result not only of Luther's own cautious endorsement of their use, but also of the particular religious and political context in which his Reformation unfolded. After the reformer's death in 1546, the image question was fiercely contested once again. But as Calvinism, with its iconoclastic tendencies, spread, Germany's Lutherans responded by reaffirming their commitment to the proper use of religious images. In 1615, Berlin's Lutheran citizens even rioted when their Calvinist rulers removed images from the city's Cathedral. Revivals and influence of the Baroque faded away and disappeared with Art Deco, a style created as a collective effort of multiple French designers to make a new modern style around 1910. It was obscure before WW1, but became very popular during the interwar period, being heavily associated with the 1920s and the 1930s. The movement was a blend of multiple characteristics taken from Modernist currents from the 1900s and the 1910s, like the Vienna Secession, Cubism, Fauvism, Primitivism, Suprematism, Constructivism, Futurism, De Stijl, and Expressionism. Besides Modernism, elements taken from styles popular during the Belle Époque, like Rococo Revival, Neoclassicism, or the neo- Louis XVI style, are also present in Art Deco. The proportions, volumes and structure of Beaux Arts architecture before WW1 is present in early Art Deco buildings of the 1910s and 1920s. Elements taken from Baroque are quite rare, architects and designers preferring the Louis XVI style. En sus tesis sobre el Barroco, D’Ors parece inspirarse en las ciencias naturales y en la medicina. Por una parte, vuelve a insistir en la tesis, ya expuesta al defender la existencia de los eones, según la cual la distinción puramente cronológica en la historia de la Cultura puede equipararse al periodo más primitivo de la anatomía humana, cuando se dividía al cuerpo en cabeza, tronco y extremidades. Un conocimiento mayor de la naturaleza del cuerpo humano dio lugar a la clasificación de las partes del mismo en sistemas y aparatos (digestivo, circulatorio, etc.). De la misma manera, los estudios sobre la Cultura deben priorizar las constantes, los eones, sobre las divisiones puramente cronológicas[18]. Woonhuis, Herengracht 120, 1015 BT te Amsterdam". monumentenregister.cultureelerfgoed.nl . Retrieved 22 September 2023. Siguiendo este sistema, clasifica unas 22 especies del género Barrochus[20]. En algunas de ellas añade una notación geográfica: Barrocchus manuelensis (Portugal), Barrocchus nordicus (Norte de Europa), etc. Siguiendo con su analogía con las ciencias naturales, algunas de las “especies” descritas tienen una categoría parecida a los “fósiles” antecesores de especies más actuales. Así nos dice que el Barrocchus pristinusse refiere a la estilización prehistórica que puede considerarse como matriz. Sin embargo, no debe entenderse las relaciones entre las diversas “especies” como una relación de descendencia, sino como manifestaciones temporales deun eon eterno.

Origen del barroco

Conner Gorry (2018). 100 Places in Cuba Every Woman Should Go. Travelers' Tales. ISBN 978-1609521301. Para D’Ors, el nacimiento de las naciones modernas es el resultado del fraccionamiento de la antigua unidad del mundo europeo. Son producto del eon de Babel (la dispersión), frente al de Roma (Imperio o Unidad). Pero la Cultura es solo una, y, por tanto, no existen los “estilos nacionales”, existen únicamente los “estilos históricos” como concreciones temporales de eoneseternos. Así, cuando D’Ors analiza la obra de un artista, normalmente de un pintor, puede encontrar en ella elementos barrocos, clásicos o un equilibrio entre ambos, pero rechaza siempre cualquier adscripción a un “estilo nacional”. No existe, por tanto, la “pintura española” ni la “pintura holandesa”. The dominant figure in baroque sculpture was Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Under the patronage of Pope Urban VIII, he made a remarkable series of monumental statues of saints and figures whose faces and gestures vividly expressed their emotions, as well as portrait busts of exceptional realism, and highly decorative works for the Vatican such as the imposing Chair of St. Peter beneath the dome in St. Peter's Basilica. In addition, he designed fountains with monumental groups of sculpture to decorate the major squares of Rome. [123] Florea, Vasile (2016). Arta Românească de la Origini până în Prezent (in Romanian).
