Baroque Period |
|
Art historians and musicologists often use the period designation "baroque" to refer to the art and music of the 17th century. The term "baroque" can also be used as a more specific stylistic definition. And to add to the confusion, when "baroque" means a kind of style, then not all of the art of the 17th century can be called baroque in style. But don't worry. When we use the term as a stylistic definition we will define it more carefully. For the time being, baroque only means 17th century art and architecture.
