The Difference Between Baroque And Rococo

We will talk about these years of some palace plays that attract thousands of boys and girls. The gorgeous costumes and scenes inside are very attractive.

Baroque:

The word “Baroque” was originally intended to refer to an irregular pearl, similar to Barroco in Portuguese and Barrueco in Spanish. Baroque art, pursuing a strong sensory stimulus, in form show grotesque and absurdity, luxurious and pretentious phenomena, gorgeous colors and numerous curves to increase the sense of secularity and human touch. Against the dark and conservative classical art style of the Renaissance, it flourished in Europe in the 17th to 18th centuries. (Renaissance aesthetics are often compared to “perfectly round pearls.”)

The most gorgeous and enchanting men’ wear in the history of the Baroque period, the sense of complexity and sculpting has reached an unforgivable level. These can be seen from the “The Three Musketeers” released in 2011: a tight blouse, slim and big hem coat, and the trousers length reached to the knee. Two sides are decorated with tedious ribbons and rosettes. Multi-layer lantern sleeves, dense pleats, embroidered stockings, wide-brimmed hats decorated with ostrich feathers, the wig with the fragrant powder.

The use of a combination of multiple S lines, a gorgeously sculpted, slim and cumbersome art style, with a light and elegant motion sense, and a soft color can be said to be a combination of Baroque style and Chinese decorative taste. The overall characteristics of Rococo are light, gorgeous, refined, delicate, and soft, pursuing light and delicate elegance, delicate and delicate.

In Louis fifteen periods, this France queen which lasted for more than 20 years, she became the dominant and promoter of the Rococo style and promoted this beautiful, elegant, frivolous romantic style of art and lifestyle to Europe.
