BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE
ARCHITECTURE
• Intricate Details – Baroque buildings were meant to
to
inspire the user, they often contained opulent and
painstaking amounts of detail.

• Complex Geometry – Baroque buildings often utilize

ovals and ellipses.

• Opulent Materials – One of the goals of Baroque design

was to convey emotion and inspire the viewer, and
flashy and bold materials were used to achieve this.

• Elements form Classical Architecture – Baroque

Buildings borrow many design elements from the
ancient structures of the Greeks and Romans.

• Vibrant Colors – Bright colors are another unifying

element found in Baroque Architecture. Many Baroque
buildings have bright pastel-colored facades.

lilacs, and pale blues.

• Asymmetry – Rococo featured asymmetrical flourishes

on everything from trimming to marquetry inlays for
furniture pieces

• Nature – elements of wildlife—flora and fauna—were

frequently seen throughout Rococo paintings and
pieces.

• Trompe l'oeil – gave perspective to fine art, suggesting

depth in two-dimensional paintings or creating the

BAROQUE ART & ARCHITECTURE
• Baroques is a Unification of Three mediums:
architecture, painting, and sculpture.
• Baroque is believed to be the first period to
practically apply architectural values beyond a
building scale to a larger town-planning extent.
• Chiaroscuro Technique: the period of baroque
beautifully explored the concept of light in spatial
design and artwork.
• Baroque “the imperfect pearl”- It was only around
1878 that Baroque was officially adopted in
academics to describe post-Renaissance
architecture.
ROCOCO ART & ARCHITECTURE
• The word Rococo is derived from the French word
rocaille, which denoted the shell-covered rock
work that was used to decorate artificial grottoes.
• In Italy the Rococo style was concentrated
primarily in Venice, where it was epitomized by the
large-scale decorative paintings of Giovanni
Battista Tiepolo.
• Rococo art was a reaction against the grandeur
and seriousness of Baroque art. It emphasized
grace, delicacy, and decorative motifs such as
shells, flowers, and feathers.
• Rococo art was often used to decorate the
interiors of grand palaces and stately homes,
where it created a sense of opulence and
refinement.
