Baroque Wall Decorations

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.

18th Century, Venetian School Italian Landscape Oversize Painting

Located in Milano, MI

Early 18th century Italian Venetian inland painting, a large size oil on canvas Baroque mountain landscape with stream, bridge, waterfall, wayfarers and a village in the background. The woodland is animated by figures, a caravan with horsemen fishermen. This monumental Italian Baroque landscape painting has a strong impact and an excellent composition balance, as it depicts in the center the luminous perspective of a fortified village, whose side wings consist of two mountain rocks with dark wooded vegetation crowded by characters, horsemen, paths, streams.On the left side, with respect to the observer, there is a path that runs alongside a stream that flows into a waterfall in the center of the composition. from a caravan of travelers on foot and on horseback traveling along it in both directions: going up the slope on the mountainous coast you can see a church and a village near the top. The right part of the painting depicts a more sparse and dry vegetation, painted in the chromatic tones of ocher, inside of which there are dead plant, dry branches and a smaller number of figures on the rugged mountain. The iconographic inspiration of this wooded representation seems to be in the large trunk of the withered conifer in a central position, which represents a dead tree, as a? reminder of the transience of everything in life, whose phases are summarized in the two mountainous coasts. In the background a village painted in light and soft blue colors, in stark contrast to the previous scene, seems  to reassure and project us into a future season. With a suggestive theatrical effect, more than 250 cm wide, this Baroque Italian painting comes from a private collection of Milan, the canvas has been lined and shows minor painting retouches at a horizontal seam of the canvas. It is unframed, it has just a wooden profile covering the canvas edge. It is an antique Italian landscape, the perfect opportunity to make a statement. Get the perfect size painting for a great living room, to create that eye-catching focal point.

Hendrick van Balen (1573-1632); “Alegoría de la abundancia”, siglo XVII
Hendrick van Balen (1573-1632); “Alegoría de la abundancia”, siglo XVII

Hendrick van Balen (1573-1632); “Alegoría de la abundancia”, siglo XVII

Located in MADRID, ES

HENDRICK VAN BALEN (Amberes, h. 1573 - 1632) “Alegoría de la abundancia” Óleo sobre cobre Medidas: 105 x 135 cm. (obra); 149 x 176 cm. (marco) En esta pieza el autor nos presenta una imagen alegórica de la abundancia, dominado por una composición piramidal cuya figura predomina por su posición y por la gama de tonos brillantes con la que se ha tratado en la diosa Deméter. Podemos reconocerla porque se encuentra sentada , sosteniendo con su mano izquierda la cornucopia de la abundancia, y con la derecha una espiga que señala a una figura masculina de menor tamaño que sostiene una antorcha, atributo propio de la diosa y que representa incursión de la misma en el inframundo para rescatar a su hija Perséfone, quien podría ser la figura que se sitúa a la izquierda de Deméter ya que ayuda a su madre a sostener la cornucopia. Además también se encuentra Hermes, situado en el lateral izquierdo, quien fue mandando por Zeus para rescatar a Perséfone del inframundo. Por lo tanto se puede concluir que se trata de una alegoría que representa la abundancia de la primavera. Por sus características formales, incluyendo la estructura compositiva y los tipos, podemos relacionar esta obra con la mano de Hendrick van Balen, uno de los más destacados representantes de la escuela flamenca del primer barroco. Karel van Mander afirma que fue discípulo de Adam van Noort, aunque algunos estudiosos han apuntado a una posible formación con Marten de Vos. En todo caso, hallamos su nombre registrado como maestro del gremio de pintores de Amberes en 1592. Poco después de esta fecha debió viajar a Italia, pasando por Venecia y Roma, como indican alguna fuente indirecta y, sobre todo, las evidentes influencias en su arte de Annibale Carracci y Palma el Viejo. Asimismo, pudo haber conocido en Venecia al alemán Johann Rottenhammer, cuyos característicos banquetes mitológicos son una influencia evidente en la obra de Van Balen. En todo caso, lo hallamos ya de vuelta en Amberes en 1602, con un taller propio en el que ya aceptaba aprendices. Tuvo varios hijos, y uno de ellos, su hija María, tuvo como padrino a Rubens y contrajo matrimonio con un pintor colaborador del maestro, Theodoor van Thulden...

Caravaggesque Oil on Copper "Flagellation of Christ" Baroque Sicilian, 17th Cent

By (After) Caravaggio

Located in Milano, IT

Splendid 17th-century Italian painting by unknown artist, but certainly a follower of Caravaggio, relying on style and drawing. The painting has a very beautiful gilded wooden frame, with a subtle greek with spheres and an overlying rectangular frame with sinuous flowers on each corner, very elegant and beautiful. The painting depicts one of the most depicted religious scenes ever, the scourging of Christ, and is entirely done in oil on copper. The scourging of Jesus is an episode narrated in the Gospels (Mk15:15-16; Mt27:26-27; Lk23:16-26; Jn19:1-17[1]). Scourging is a flogging, particularly bloody, by means of sticks, rods or cat-o-nine-tails, the latter instrument consisting, in the Roman typology, of a short stick to which were secured several strings ending in metal claws, leads and bone splinters that caused tremendous lacerations and fractures to the tortured person. Chains are used in this scene, both to immobilize Jesus Christ and to flog him, as we can see in the upper right hand of the scourger. According to some personal research, it turned out that the actual scourging of Christ was mostly depicted at the column, while this Christ is on the ground, so presumably Christ here is scourged during the Way of the Cross at one of those stages where he fell. The painting has a very dark coloring, which is why this painting is believed to faithfully follow Caravaggio's style of dry, authoritarian brushstrokes. The painting shows a figure agonizing on the ground that continues to receive beatings and floggings of all kinds, representing Christ; his face is crucified in a loquacious expression of pain, he turns his eyes to heaven as if to invoke God, but at the same time those same eyes admonish the wickedness and arrogance inherent in humanity. Christ has one hand resting on the ground in the act of holding himself, while the other takes a completely unnatural stance against the barren ground. His body appears hardened to wanting to parry the blows, his legs are curled up on his knees as he takes kicks from the soldier above him. Christ is depicted pinned down from the neck with a very large and strong black iron bolt held by the other soldier. The soldier on the right in the foreground wears a one-shoulder tunic with an orange tunic and blue pants. On his feet he wears gray shoes, at his waist he has a belt with an iron helmet...

Canvas measures 24.5" x 19.25". A related, but later portrait of circa 1735, attributed to the same unknown painter, is held in the collection of Lichtenthal Abbey, Baden-Baden.

Hereditary Prince of Baden-Baden from birth, at the death of his father in 1707, he succeeded as Margrave of Baden-Baden at the age of four. As such, his mother was regent of Baden-Baden until he reached his majority on 22 October 1727 at the age of 25. He married Maria Anna of Schwarzenberg April 8, 1721 at Český Krumlov Castle. The couple were the parents of four children, of whom only one survived infancy. After the death of the first Maria Anna in 1755, he married the Princess Maria Anna Josepha of Bavaria on July 10, 1755; the daughter of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and his Austrian wife Archduchess Maria Amalia. The second marriage remained childless. Due to his passion for hunting instead of military service, he became known as "Jägerlouis", "hunter Louis", a play on his father's nickname of Türkenlouis ("Turk Louis") due to his famous heroics against the Turkish army at the Siege of Vienna...
