Baroque: The Ornate Age
• Baroque Art (1600-1750) succeeded inmarrying the advance techniques andgrand scale of the Renaissance to theemotion, intensity and drama ofMannerism.
• Baroque art was the most ornate andsumptuous in the history of art.
• While the term Baroque is often usednegatively to mean over done andostentatious, the 17th century not onlyproduced such artistic geniuses asRembrandt and Velasquez, but expandedthe role of art into everyday life.
• Artists now called Baroque came from allover Europe to Rome to study themasterpieces of Classical antiquity and theHigh Renaissance then returned home tointerpret what they had learned in theirown unique way.

Baroque: The Style• Baroque styles varied widely, ranging from Italian realism to French
flamboyance.
• However, the common element throughout Baroque art was the
sensitivity to and the absolute mastery of Light in order to achieve
maximum impact.
• The Baroque era began in Rome around 1600 with Catholic popes financing
magnificent cathedrals to display the triumph of their faith over the
Protestant Reformation.
• From there., it traveled to France where absolute monarchs ruled by divine
right and spent amounts comparable to the pharaohs of Egypt to glorify
themselves.
• In Catholic countries, like Flanders, religious art flourished, while in
the Protestant lands of northern Europe, religious imagery was
forbidden.
• As a result art tended to be still life, portraits, landscapes and scenes from
everyday life.

Baroque Art in Italy• Artists in Rome pioneered the Baroque
style before it spread to the rest ofEurope.
• Art academies had been established inRome to train artists in the varioustechniques developed during theRenaissance.
• Artists could expertly represent thehuman body from any angle, portray themost complex perspective andrealistically reproduce almost anything.
• Italian Baroque art differs fromRenaissance art with its emphasis onemotion rather than rationality, ondynamic rather than staticcompositions.
• The most striking difference betweenItalian Baroque and Renaissancepainting was the use of light to dramatizea composition.

Caravaggio 1571-1610
• He was the first great
representative of the
Baroque style.
• Within his lifetime,
Caravaggio was
considered enigmatic,
fascinating, a rebel, and
dangerous.
• He burst upon the Rome
art scene in 1600, and
thereafter never lacked
for commissions or
patrons, yet handled his
success atrociously.

• An early published notice on him, dating
from 1604 and describing his lifestyle
some three years previously, tells how:
• "after a fortnight's work he will swagger
about for a month or two with a sword at
his side and a servant following him, from
one ball-court to the next, ever ready to
engage in a fight or an argument, so that it
is most awkward to get along with him.”
• In 1606 he killed a young man in a brawl
and fled from Rome with a price on his
head.
• In Malta in 1608 he was involved in
another brawl, and yet another in Naples
in 1609, possibly a deliberate attempt on
his life by unidentified enemies.
• By the next year, after a career of little
more than a decade, he was dead.

• Huge new churches and palaces were being built
in Rome in the decades of the late 16th and early
17th centuries, and paintings were needed to fill
them.
• The Counter-Reformation Church searched for
authentic religious art with which to counter the
threat of Protestantism, and for this task the
artificial conventions of Mannerism, which had
ruled art for almost a century, no longer seemed
adequate.
• Caravaggio's novelty was a radical naturalism
which combined close physical observation with
a dramatic, even theatrical, approach to
chiaroscuro, the use of light and shadow. In
Caravaggio's hands this new style was the vehicle
for authentic and moving spirituality.
• Famous and extremely influential while he lived,
Caravaggio was almost entirely forgotten in the
centuries after his death, and it was only in the
20th century that his importance to the
development of Western art was rediscovered.Chalk portrait of Caravaggio

• Caravaggio’s fame scarcely survived his death.
• His innovations inspired the Baroque, but the Baroque took the drama of his chiaroscuro
without the psychological realism.
• He directly influenced the style of his companion Orazio Gentileschi, and his daughter
Artemisia Gentileschi, and, at a distance, the Frenchmen Georges de La Tour and Simon
Vouet, and the Spaniard Giuseppe Ribera.
• Yet within a few decades his works were being ascribed to less scandalous artists, or simply
overlooked.
• Caravaggio never established a workshop and thus had no school to spread his techniques.
• Nor did he ever set out his underlying philosophical approach to art, the psychological
realism which can only be deduced from his surviving work.
• Thus his reputation was doubly vulnerable to the critical demolition-jobs done by two of his
earliest biographers, one, a rival painter with a personal vendetta, and the other an
influential 17th century critic, who had not known him but was under the influence of the
French artist, Poussin, who had not known him either but hated his work.
• In the 1920s art critic Roberto Longhi brought Caravaggio's name once more to public
attention, asserting that, “Ribera, Vermeer, La Tour and Rembrandt could never have
existed without him. And the art of Delacroix, Courbet and Manet would have been utterly
different.”
• The influential critic Bernard Berenson agreed: “With the exception of Michaelangelo, no
other Italian painter exercised so great an influence.”

Artemisia Gentileschi• Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 -1652), was one of the first women artists to
achieve recognition in the male-dominated world of post-Renaissance art.
• In an era when female artists were limited to portrait painting, she was the firstwoman to paint major historical and religious scenes.
• Born in Rome in 1593, she received her early training from her father, but afterart academies rejected her, she continued study under a friend of her father,Agostino Tassi.
• In 1612, her father brought suit against Tassi for raping Artemisia.
• There followed a highly publicized seven-month trial.
• The trauma of the rape and trial had an enormous impact on Artemisia'spainting.
• Her graphic depictions were cathartic and symbolic attempts to deal with thephysical and psychic pain.
• The heroines of her art, especially Judith, are powerful women exactingrevenge on such male evildoers as the Assyrian general Holofernes.
• Her style was heavily influenced by dramatic realism and the markedchiaroscuro of Caravaggio.

• Susanna and the Elders(1610) was one of the firstworks of the young 17-year-old Artemisia.
• The painting depicts thebiblical story of Susanna, avirtuous young wife sexuallyharassed by the elders of hercommunity.
• Rather than showing Susannaas coyly or flirtatious (asmany male artists had paintedthe scene), Artemisia takesthe female perspective andportrays Susanna asvulnerable, frightened, andrepulsed by their demands,while the men loom large,leering, menacing, andconspiratorial in herdirection.

• After her death, she drifted into
obscurity, her works often attributed
to her father or other artists.
• Art historian and expert on
Artemisia, Mary D. Garrard notes
that Artemisia "has suffered a
scholarly neglect that is unthinkable
for an artist of her calibre."
• Renewed and overdue interest in
Artemisia in recent years has
recognized her as a talented
seventeenth-century painter and one
of the world's greatest female artists.

Carracci vs Caravaggio
• Unlike Caravaggio, theCarracci were more interestedin typically Florentine lineardraftsmanship, as exemplifiedby Raphael.
• Their style also derived fromVenetian painters with theiruse of glimmering colors andmistier edges.
• The family workshop inBologna was called upon topaint numerous frescos, whichthey completed with technicalmastery not seen since Michelangelo.
• Caravaggio on the other handnever painted in fresco.

Palazzo Farnese• Based on the prolific and masterful
frescoes by the Carracci in Bologna,
Annibale was recommended by the
Duke of Parma, Ranuccio Farnese, to
his brother, the Cardinal Odoardo
Farnese, who wished to decorate the
piano nobile of the cavernous Roman
Palazzo Farnese in Rome
• In November-December of 1595,
Annibale and Agostino traveled to
Rome to begin decorating the
Camerino with stories of Hercules,
appropriate since the room housed
the famous Greco-Roman antique
sculpture of the super muscular
Farnese Hercules.

reduced the harsh glare he so
detested.

Francesco Borromini• What Caravaggio did for painting
Borromini did for architecture.
• Just as Caravaggio’s figures seem toleap out at the viewer, Borromini’sundulating walls also to come life withdramatic light and shadow.
• He was a rebellious, emotionallydisturbed genius who died by suicide.
• He first worked as a stone cutter forBernini, who became his arch rival.
• His buildings often displayed an oddjuxtaposition of shapes.
