Caravaggio and Rembrandt
Baroque Visual Art Caravaggio and Rembrandt
3
Baroque Period Basics Power of Church and Monarchies partially restored Excess ornamentation valued Rome = artistic center Art filled with emotion/drama Realism instead of idealism Chiaroscuro –Kept from Renaissance and used to create intense drama
4
Caravaggio Italian Praised for his outstanding detail in painting Condemned for several reasons: Personal life – violent, aggressive and confrontational - killed an individual in Rome – consistently jailed Works were not modest/very violent – excessive/unnecessary nudity - didn’t celebrate beauty Many felt works lacked theological correctness – especially in the Death of the Virgin – The church loved his skill and he was the primary painter for the church– eventually excommunicated due to conflicts with the church – “The Antichrist of Painting”
5
Rembrandt One of best known Baroque artists Dutch (Netherlands)
Developed revolutionary technique Use of large amount of paint Use of fewer brushstrokes Made paintings almost seem unfinished (clear and formal looking from a distance) Painted many landscapes and made etchings about nature in the 1630s Many featured trees that had been blown over/very dark cloudy skies
6
Rembrandt Cont. 1640 works became more solemn 1650s – Changes
Family tragedies he had suffered 1650s – Changes Richer colors Stronger brushstrokes moved him further from fine detail Last years he focused on self portraits that showed his grief and sorrow that he had suffered

Baroque Music Bach and Handel

Basics Emotion was very important
Most patrons were nobles from state or church Little thought of preservation of music Musicians saw themselves as employees rather than artists and created on demand Music specific to the occasion Few musicians kept their music – preservation depended on the patron retaining the work Often for festivals, weddings, ceremonies, the church, and holidays
