The BAROQUE

 The art of a baroque, with it’s splendor of forms, was meant to glorify a monarchy and aristocracy and the church. The Italian word "baroque" by which this style was named, means a bowl of the elaborate form. Having arisen in the end of XVI century, the baroque, in effect was direct, natural continuation of the Renaissance style. The Italian masters have had a direct influence on creation of a baroque style in France. And so - generated about 1650 in Rome baroque forms have laid down a firm basis for the creation of the “style of the Lui XIV”.

  Basic elements of baroque style just like the Renaissance, go back to antiquity; the main thing that distinguishes a baroque, is the raised dynamism of forms and restless rhythm of curves. The baroque is distinguished by magnificent, extravagant forms, which in due time found wide application in architecture and first of all in cult buildings construction, such as an interior of churches and monasteries.
  Bright paints, expressive forms, rich game of light and a shadow, an abundance of gilding are traditional in a baroque interior. To strengthen impression of intensity and anxiety in an interior - some points playing a role of the independent composite centres were often used. Logic of architectural forms was complicated by outlines of walls, an abundance of ledges, niches and curved complicated eaves.

  The baroque on the one hand is decorative style, with another - it is created under the influence of the rules of classical architecture but without special sequence. Typical  example of baroque form is the twisted column. The motive of repeatedly broken eaves, that originate from late renaissance, was used especially wide during an epoch of a baroque. For example, in furniture this motive is used for a frame of panels.
  Behind smart grandiosity of forms this style feels somewhat theatrical. Despite the homogeneity of baroque style, resulting from relationship of the factors that have promoted its development and distribution, it has developed appreciable deviations in different countries.
  In Protestant areas of Germany and England where traditions of post-renaissance cultures were especially steady, the baroque was not as affluent and once developed, it gravitated more to strict, classical forms and only sometimes allowed more freedom in the style of decoration.

 Baroque style character was beginning to vary from its initial geometrical forms. Instead of smooth circles and semicircles - the new motives were appearing, complex on outlines with dynamical ovals and the spirals, all of which begin to be widely used in decoration of windows, furniture and utensils. The quiet smooth surface of furniture is broken by cambers and concavities, lines are bent and twisted.
  An introduction of a curve in furniture forms was not an easy problem to overcome since wood gives in to bending only with great work. Creation of bent surfaces is a labour-consuming task sometimes done using the pasting of slices of plywood together. Inevitably rough joints were grinded, polished and varnished. Thus - an abundance of varnish work in baroque furniture. Instead of oak the furniture of a baroque style is more often made of a walnut, which is more suitable for curving and polishing.  Occurrence of more perfect and various kinds of veneering and also expansion of a variety of used materials has led to magnificent blossoming of this style.

 In frame furniture (chairs, armchairs, sofas and so forth) there had also been a transition from severe rectilinear outlines to curved lines; the furniture becomes easier and more home-style cosy. A characteristic novelty of style – a curved leg, the form ascending most likely from the Chinese samples, has been taken into practice by European furniture makers. The furniture for sitting is now more often upholstered with expensive tapestry materials - brocade and Gobelin tapestry.
  During an epoch of a baroque another important development takes place. First so-called "sets" or the "complete furniture sets" consisting of several subjects made in harmony with each other appear.

 During the XVII century Italian furniture art undergoes essential changes. Plasticity of carved elements amplifies. Forms of furniture – in tune with northern trends, receive more underlined joiner's character, with carved frameworks and deep ornaments. Chests and credenzas are superseded by wardrobes.

  In France an epoch of a baroque is conditionally subdivided into four stages (so-called " the French royal styles").

These stages are defined by time of board of one of the Ludovics:
An early "Baroque", transitive style (the Lui XIII, 1610-1643);
Mature "Baroque" (the Lui XIX, 1643-1715);
"Regency" - a transitive stage between board of the Lui XIV and XV; and
"Rococo"-  a late stage of a baroque (the Lui XV, 1720 - 1765).
