Term used to describe the art of the 17th century. The Baroque art style, which originated in Rome around 1600, quickly spread through the visual arts, literature, and music across nerly all of Europe, lasting in the visual arts until 1770. The final phase is generally characterised by Rococo.
Characteristic features include: the pulsating movement of all forms, the abolition of boundaries between architecture, painting, and sculpture, leading to the typical "Gesamtkunstwerk" ("total work of art"), and, above all, the purposeful use of light, which became an important artistic component. The subordination of the individual parts to the whole resulted in the creation of a unified yet dynamic space, which is fully expressed in the magnificent buildings of this period.
The Baroque art, with its penchant for grandeur, splendour, and rushing abundance, clearly reflects the desire for representation, which was a concern of secular and ecclesiastical, especially the Catholic patrons strengthened by the Counter-Reformation. In painting, characteristic features of the Baroque, are manifested in altar and ceiling painting, history scences and portraits.
Typical representatives include artists such as Anthony van Dyck, Peter Paul Rubens, as well as Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the field of sculpture.
Marble powder is polymer-bonded. Artificial marble is characterised by a fine white surface that appears very similar to natural marble.
A true-to-the-original reproduction of an artwork in the same size and with the best possible material and colour uniformity.
The mould is usually taken directly from the original so that the replication reproduces even the finest details. After casting the replication, using the most appropriate method, the surface is polished, patinated, gilded or painted according to the original.
A replication of ars mundi is a recognizable copy of the original.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
