Baroque architecture is renowned for its virtuosic brilliance and its restless energy. Used by the great architects of the sixteenth, seventeenth and even eighteenth centuries, this instantly recognisable, iconic style is found in churches, monasteries, palaces and theatres all across Europe spreading eventually over the Atlantic into the New World.
This video will explore the origins and spirit behind the Baroque style, using diagrams and photos to understand its context and its legacy.
Music:
Pergolesi: Salve Regina
Marcello: Oboe Concerto in D minor, 2nd movt.
Telemann: Flute Quartet in G, 1st movt.

I loved the presentation. As an engineer, I wish there were some mention of weight-bearing in these structures. Since the structures have lasted so long, they must have been doing something right.

The counter tenor singing and the piece in the background just matches the drama, restless energy, and extravagance of the baroque period. The baroque period is my favorite period in terms of music, art, and architecture. Great video!!

It has dawned on me that the movements in architecture parallel the same movements in art. Gothic followed by Classical Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Mannerist, Neo-Classical, Romantic, etc.

I saw the inside of Asamkirche in person and it was truly beautiful.. I have come to appreciate baroque architecture throughout my travels in Europe although my favorite style is the gothic architecture with its grotesque gargoyles and its arches etc. Great video.. Thank you for the information.. Cheers

Thanks for your lovely comments. I do still find the Asamkirche quite astonishing - like being in someone's convoluted, baroque brain!! Sometimes baroque can seem a lot less rational than gothic...

Love the video and the series. Buildings in Petra have broken pediments. I wonder if it's just a coincidence.
@lockdownlearning2718
@lockdownlearning2718 10 ай бұрын
Cheers for your comment! Well, yes, in a funny sort of way - the buildings in Petra are a late Roman example of how Classical buildings at the time, just like in Baroque, became increasingly complex and over-the-top. It seems that this tends to happen with stylistic periods, we can even see it in Gothic - things begin quite austere and simple, then edge towards more and more ornate and complex styles. Have you ever looked into Hellenistic architecture and sculpture? This, think, is where the buildings at Petra fit into the whole picture.

Come to Turin, Italy we have many Baroque buildings and an amazing Church named " LA CONSOLATA" which has a splendid baroque altar and some parts of the abovementioned church are art-works from the Baroque Master Filippo Juvarra.

@@lockdownlearning2718 The Church of Superga ( Basilica di Superga) is where our former Queens and Kings of the Savoia Royal Family are buried. Take a look at the beautiful little town of Noto (Sicily). The city is for most of its part a Baroque dreamland ans a real love poem to this particolar architectural style. We call it Barocco Siciliano.

Yes, there is a fascinating hybrid style, and not just in India, but across the whole region - apparently Myanmar/Burma has a great deal still, given its isolation over recent decades, which I would love to know more about. Maybe another video...? Thanks for your comment.

Cheers for your comment! I know what you mean - lots of styles seem to go through an early, austere period, then gradually become increasingly ornate and over-the-top. We can see in it Gothic and even ancient Classical stuff too.

Baroque comes from Baroquo, the Italian name for an uneven rough pearl
