Baroque
Baroque architecture is a result of the development form
from Renaissance architecture. Since the boredom of the same old style in the
renaissance architectures’ perfection, Baroque period they established more
complex and playful movement of light, shade and shadow. As in renaissance
period, most of the buildings have symmetrical and geometrical form with bright
color marble surface. Baroque style transforms those elements to be more curvy,
bent and oval shape to give new dynamic feelings. However, Baroque still strictly focused on
religious meanings therefore the symmetrical form was still remained. For
example, the Palace of Versailles in France where the architects were using the
effect of light to make the entrance became more luxurious and powerful. Also
the shapes of the windows are different such as the window at the entrance is a
tall arched shape but windows on the side of the building used rectangle shape.
Including the high decoration and the effects of light and shadow make this
building became really magnificent. Compare to the St. Peter Basilica in
Vatican City, the building is a most well known as a holiest church that ever
built. Yet, the structure was influenced by Renaissance architectural style
which we can easily seen that every side of the building looks the same. Also,
there is not any of the building part that stands out than the others, no light
or shadow; so it can give to expression of plain and boredom.
