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.

17th Century Painting "Lady Portrait " Portrait
By Ary Sweden 1
Located in Valladolid, ES
Oil on canvas, " Lady Portrait ", Mixed brushwork, delicate when outlining and looser in the line of clothing and dress. The delicacy with which the skin of the arms and hands is shaped stands out. This lady of distinguished social class carries a letter in her hand. Born and educated in Sweden, he went on to France, where he became a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1784, after which he managed to exhibit at the official Salon. His fame reached the ears of Marie Antoinette, whom he would portray on several occasions. His trajectory passes through Spain in 1790 and the United States in 1794, where he worked as a portrait painter and produced one of the first publicly exhibited nudes. This author would refine his style in the following decades to adapt it to Neoclassical taste, refining the brushstroke even more, making more use of the drawing. It has the original frame of the Carlos X...
