 | | Baroque actually expressed new values, which often are summarized in the use of metaphor and allegory, widely found in Baroque literature, and in the research for the "maraviglia" (wonder, astonishment — as in Marinism), the use of artifices. | | | Opera was born during the Baroque era out of the experimentation of the Florentine Camerata, the creators of monody, who attempted to recreate the theatrical arts of the ancient Greeks; indeed it is exactly that development which is often used to denote the beginning of the musical Baroque, around 1600. | | | Baroque art drew on certain broad and heroic tendencies in Annibale Carracci and his circle, and found inspiration in other artists like Correggio and Caravaggio and Federico Barocci, nowadays sometimes termed 'proto-Baroque'. |

| | The practice of the Baroque era was the norm against which new composition was measured, and there came to be a division between sacred works, which held more closely to the Baroque style from, secular, or "profane" works, which were in the new style. | | | Baroque performance practice had a renewed influence with the rise of "Authentic" or Historically Informed Performance in the late 20th century. | | | A small number of musicologists argue that it should be split in to Baroque and Mannerist periods to conform to the divisions that are sometimes applied in the visual arts. |

| | Baroque Music - Part One |
| | Most of the Baroque musical instruments and forms which evolved during the Baroque period survive today, particularly as they were embodied in the most familiar European art music, the music of the Classical and Romantic periods of the nineteenth century. | | | This is the domain of such examples of Baroque expression as the luxuriant music of Vivaldi, the exuberant paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, and the flamboyant architecture of Francesco Borromini. | | | As does all great art, Baroque music speaks to something that transcends time and place, but it also derives much from the social and cultural context of the world for which it was written. |

| | Baroque painting in England was dominated by the presence of Rubens and van Dyck, who inspired an entire generation of portraitists. | | | The late baroque in Seville is best represented by Juan de ValdÈs Leal (1622-90), whose two paintings (1672) of vanitas (reminders of mortality) subjects in the Hospital of La Caridad, Seville, are horrifying in their morbid, ultrarealistic depictions of skeletons and putrefying cadavers. | | | In Valencia, a naturalistic baroque mode is observed in the work of Francisco Ribalta (1565-1628), inspired by the art of both the Italian High Renaissance painter Titian and Jusepe de Ribera. |

| | The major figure of the Spanish baroque was Domenico Scarlatti who was born, and received his musical training, not in Spain but in Italy. | | | The contribution of France to baroque music, particularly in its earlier period, 1650-1700, was comparatively small. | | | It might be suggested that in a similar way the great organ-builders of Germany, Arp Schnitger in the north and Gottfried Silbermann in the south, inspired and challenged composers such as Buxtehude and JS Bach to compose organ works which would exploit to the full the varied and majestic tonalities of these notable instruments. |

| | The Baroque and Neo-Baroque |
| | The baroque is subsumed into every aspect of Curtiz's films: in his lack of concern with norms; in his focus on transgressive themes and characters; in his use of extravagant styles, lighting, and mise-en-scene, and in his preference for virtuoso actors such as Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, and Boris Karloff. | | | During this time, "baroque" implied an art or music of extravagance, impetuousness, and virtuosity, all of which were concerned with stirring the affections and senses of the individual. | | | Throughout the twentieth century, baroque form altered its identity as a style in diverse areas of the arts, continuing restlessly to move on to new metamorphic states and cultural contexts. |
