The Baroque is less convincing as a single style than as a particular set of problems. How can painting make an invisible state visible? How can architecture make finite space suggest infinity? How can an instant imply time? How can light be simultaneously physical illumination, divine intervention, psychological revelation and political metaphor? How can the visible world be observed with increasing empirical precision while remaining saturated with allegorical and metaphysical meaning? And perhaps most characteristically: how can a work of art cease to be merely an object before the spectator and begin to act upon the spectator instead? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/292f8838-9996-4bd9-978f-7413221f4c28/Las_Meninas%2C_by_Diego_Vela%CC%81zquez%2C_sibiuandbeyons.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Diego Velázquez, Las Meninas, 1656, Museo del Prado https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/09494536-7967-4bd3-8fc8-7ea5d088369e/Johannes_Vermeer_-_The_Geographer_-_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel Johannes Vermeer — The Geographer, 1669 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/25c7a7fb-48dd-4d2f-9a08-c883e20c8070/Caravaggio+%E2%80%94+The+Incredulity+of+Saint+Thomas%2C+c.+1601%E2%80%931602_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Caravaggio — The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, c. 1601–1602 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/4bfbb0c2-ca47-4cb4-91fa-37516897621f/The_Conversion_of_Saint_Paul-Caravaggio_%28c._1600-1601%29_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Caravaggio — The Conversion of Saint Paul / Conversion on the Way to Damascus, 1600-1601 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/3556445c-a064-4e66-bff6-a8776692ffb9/Pieter+Claesz+%E2%80%94+Vanitas+Still+Life%2C+1630_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Pieter Claesz — Vanitas Still Life, 1630 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/eb057eea-bedb-45d0-baf9-b54020088c46/Rembrandt_Harmensz_van_Rijn_-_Return_of_the_Prodigal_Son_-_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Rembrandt van Rijn — The Return of the Prodigal Son, c. 1668–1669 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/8bcead3b-a3d2-462b-8dd8-cda3beabbc85/Artemisia_Gentileschi_-_Mary_Magdalene_in_Ecstasy_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Artemisia Gentileschi’s Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, c. 1620s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/511b9e01-770a-45a3-b7cd-06e8d151d0eb/Gian+Lorenzo+Bernini+%E2%80%94+Cornaro+Chapel%2C+Santa+Maria+della+Vittoria%2C+Rome%2C+1647%E2%80%931652_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Gian Lorenzo Bernini — Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome, 1647–1652 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/b66543ae-c3db-407a-9bcf-72973a86c189/Cortona_Triumph_of_Divine_Providence_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel Pietro da Cortona — Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power, Palazzo Barberini ceiling, 1633–1639 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/aeff3c95-8a96-471f-a665-c36b02f12ed9/Giovanni+Battista+Gaulli+Triumph+of+the+Name+of+Jesus+Il+Gesu%CC%80+Rome_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Giovanni Battista Gaulli, Triumph of the Name of Jesus, is located in the Church of the Gesù in Rome and was painted between 1672 and 1685 The real space occupied by the viewer and the represented space constructed by the artist are designed to operate together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/01c1488b-0314-4c3f-a742-b71ff3401feb/1665_Girl_with_a_Pearl_Earring_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Make it stand out Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring, c. 1665 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69e097dde3f5c33203bdeefd/092c7bc5-bb68-4359-89e9-eb55ff6dc51c/ohann+Bernhard+Fischer+von+Erlach_karlskirche_sibiuandbeyond.eu.jpg Sibiu and Beyond - Baroque: an Art Movement that Dared to Feel - Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, Karlskirche, 1716-1737 The Karlskirche (English: Charles Church) is a Baroque church in the Karlsplatz in Vienna, Austria.
