Baroque Revival
The Baroque Revival, also known as the Neo-Baroque, was an architectural and artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century. It sought to revive the grandeur and ornate styles of the original Baroque period, which flourished in Europe during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Characterized by dramatic forms, elaborate decorations, and bold colors, the Baroque Revival aimed to evoke emotional responses and create a sense of awe.
This movement influenced various fields, including architecture, sculpture, and painting. Notable examples of Baroque Revival architecture can be seen in buildings like the Palace of Justice in Brussels and the Royal Albert Hall in London. The style often incorporated elements from other historical periods, blending them with Baroque features to create a unique aesthetic.
