Our
Baroque and Rococo Catalogue, featuring all our prints and
posters by 17th and 18th Century Baroque artists, including
Caravaggio, Van Dyck, de Hooch and Velasquez, as well as
prints and posters of works by renowned Rococo artists, such
as Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsborough and Watteau. This
catalogue lists the major Baroque and Rococo painters and
related styles.
Baroque painting evolved from the stylistic innovations of
the Renaissance, expanding experiments with perspective and
naturalistic representation. The work of the Baroque
painters is often marked by highly dramatic scenes, rich
color, and a keen sense of personal psychology. Rococo
painting drew its inspiration from the French aristocracy,
incorporating mythology and romance into sensuous, graceful
portraits. Rococo painters such as Watteau, Boucher and
Gainsborough offered a rose-colored peek into the private
lives of Europe's elite, painting them in delicate colors
and mischievous lines.
