The Baroque style was grand and extravagant, rich in new design styles. Architecture and interior design included a new emphasis on sculptural and painted forms. Shapes from nature, such as leaves, shells, and scrolls, provided a vocabulary to enrich the classical form of earlier Renaissance design.
Select one architect/designer/furniture maker from the list below. Provide a three-paragraph minimum essay on the individual and choose three examples of their work to describe. Include the following:
- Brief biography or background
- Names, dates, titles, materials used, dimensions, etc. of your three examples
- Images of all examples
- Provide description of each item, using proper terminology (for example, the chair has cabriole legs and ball and claw feet, etc.)
- Discuss how these examples represent the individual’s oeuvre, or overall aesthetic/body of work
- Analyze how your artist’s work reflects the Baroque or Rococo movements; what makes the work representative of one movement or the other?
- references used must be cited and included for Turnit in (less than 20%)
