Baroque began during the
1600 in Italy. The differentiations between Baroque and Renaissance is some how
divided by a little gap from each other. The Baroque architecture still remains
some elements from the Renaissance like symmetry, the rules of the geometric
forms. By just taking away the ornamentations of the Baroque architecture we
could find the similarity of both style of these two. To understand this
easier, I consider Renaissance as modern architecture, which is based on the
origin rules of that style. But Baroque is like Post-modern or Expressionism
Architecture, which kind of express more emotion and feeling into the work. Baroque
architecture focuses on detail more than the Renaissance style. For example,
the motions of the fabric, the cloths and the actions of the art, the sculpture
in the time of the Baroque. They express more feeling and emotion in their
characteristic. More curvature are applied to this period. I can consider
Baroque architecture as “Erotic” because by looking from the details and
ornamentation of their work. By spending more time looking on their work we
start to understand the artwork/ architecture from its detail and by
understanding its detail. We can see the emotion and feel how they express
their emotion. From these elements I can consider Baroque as “Erotic” art and architecture.
