Baroque Paintings

BAROQUE STYLE

The decadence of the Baroque style, in which ornate furnishings were layered against paneled walls, painted ceilings, stately chandeliers and, above all, gilding, expressed the power of the church and monarchy through design that celebrated excess. And its influence was omnipresent — antique Baroque furniture was created in the first design style that truly had a global impact.

Theatrical and lavish, Baroque was prevalent across Europe from the 17th to mid-18th century and spread around the world through colonialism, including in Asia, Africa and the Americas. While Baroque originated in Italy and achieved some of its most fantastic forms in the late-period Roman Baroque, it was adapted to meet the tastes and materials in each region. French Baroque furniture informed Louis XIV style and added drama to Versailles. In Spain, the Baroque movement influenced the elaborate Churrigueresque style in which architecture was dripping with ornamental details. In South German Baroque, furniture was made with bold geometric patterns.

Compared to Renaissance furniture, which was more subdued in its proportions, Baroque furniture was extravagant in all aspects, from its shape to its materials.

Allegorical and mythical figures were often sculpted in the wood, along with motifs like scrolling floral forms and acanthus leaves that gave the impression of tangles of dense foliage. Novel techniques and materials such as marquetry, gesso and lacquer — which were used with exotic woods and were employed by cabinetmakers such as André-Charles Boulle, Gerrit Jensen and James Moore — reflected the growth of international trade. Baroque furniture characteristics include a range of decorative elements — a single furnishing could feature everything from carved gilded wood to gilt bronze, lending chairs, mirrors, console tables and other pieces a sense of motion.

Gallant Scene Painting by Philippe Mercier, 18th Century
Located in Lisbon, PT
An 18th century painting of a gallant scene in a park. Attributed with seal of painter's studio to Philippe Mercier (1689 to 1760) from the circle of the french painter Nicolas Lancret, a follower of the École of Antoine Watteau. Oil on canvas, in a fine carved giltwood frame. Frame: Width: 16,53 in (42 cm) Depth: 14,56 in (37 cm) Canvas: Width: 12,99 in (33 cm) Depth: 10,62 in (27 cm) Philippe Mercier (Berlin 1689 – London 1760) born in Berlin and studied at the Berlin Akademie with Antoine Pesne before traveling to Italy and France. By the time he arrived in London in 1716, had considerable familiarity with the work of contemporary French painters, particularly Watteau and his sophisticated style. Soon won Watteau patronage in court circles. In 1726 painted two important group portraits that can be seen as an introduction to English art - Baron Schultz and his friends (1725, Tate Gallery, London) and Viscount Tyrconnel with his family (1725-6, private collection). In 1729, Mercier was appointed Chief Painter to Frederick, Prince of Wales, and, a year later, keeper of his library, but they seem to have fallen away in the latter half of the 1730s, when he retired to the country, where painted several portraits for the Samwell family of Upton, Northants, and Hesilriges of Noseley, Warwicks. In 1739 Mercier moved to York, where he built up a considerable portrait practice among the leading families in the county. It was at this time that he made his greatest contribution to British painting, introducing and developing the 'extravagant image', a genre derived from Chardin as well as Watteau and 17th-century Dutch genre painting. Described by George Vertue as "bit of some conversational figures as large as life: vain plaisant Fantasies and habits: mixed modes very well done – and very approved", such works were frequently recorded and clearly enjoyed considerable success. Painted in the second half of the 1730s, the present work, An Allegory of Taste, is a fine example of this way of painting and its Rococo sensibility reveals the artist's affinities with contemporary French art...
