Description

The Baroque era was a dramatic continuation of the cultural and scientific awakening of Western Europe. Following the tremendous advances made during the Renaissance period, the Baroque era was the starting point of the Modern Period in Western culture. Great advancements were realized in the areas of visual arts, music, literature, science, and philosophy. Of particular importance is the influence of science on the arts. The daring and adventurous discoveries of new worlds, both of this and celestial realms, provided the impetus for energies to be transformed to the arts. Due to the importance of this influence, the relation of the arts and sciences during the Baroque era is a topic that has had far-reaching effects on Western culture. I plan to show how scientific ideas and methods expanded the technical and expressive elements of the arts.
