I loved this much more than I expected. Baroque is so psychedelic and provocative. I love how interactive the artist and the viewer are in each interaction.

I usually prefer the more neutral-ish tone of most documentaries but I really like how flamingly opinionated Mr.Januszczak is, I think this style not only informs on the history and technical prowess of the art but of what the genuine reactions might have been like back in the day, too. Definitely the man for the job on a video about Baroque!

Baroque is the rock and roll of art.

@kaloarepo288 Год назад

No baroque is a style of classical music as well that involves the greatest composers of all time like Lully,Handel,Vivaldi and J S Bach though some people consider these latter composers as rococo.

@michaelrexrode3759 Год назад

@@kaloarepo288 I am speaking in the context of this exposition of Baroque visual art, whether painting, sculpture, or architecture. The man speaking uses phrases such as "In your face", which perfectly describes rock and roll. The art of the High Renaissance can be likened to jazz. It doesn't come to you; you have to go to it. I like both styles.

@kaloarepo288 Год назад

@@michaelrexrode3759 Baroque art is very theatrical with exaggerated gestures so a comparison to opera is a lot more appropriate -actually opera was invented in the early baroque period and baroque churches were actually inspired by baroque opera houses not the other way around -plus rock n roll is based on electronic amplification wheras music at that time was of course acoustic and you really had to have a real voice not an artificially amplified one as in rock.

@averayugen7802 Год назад

@@kaloarepo288 What I think Michael meant was the music in the Baroque was very basic melodically and harmonically and easily accessible to the emotions and it was rhythmically simple and often danceable. It was in general less polyphonic and "intellectual" than Renaissance music and therefore more accessible to more people...

I’m a catholic went to a convent school as did all my sisters and brothers my mother was a true diehard up until our father abandoned our family in 1972 making her a single mum she went to the church for help she was told that no matter what he had done take him back and be a good wife after that she turned her back on the church never went to mass again . When she died my sister got in touch with her own families priest so she could have them accept her back and forgive her her sins . Catholicism still has its hold over me
