Baroque Light Source
SIDE CEILING PANEL-DINING ROOM/VERSAILLE The Baroque period is so varied that no single set of stylistic criteria can be applied to it. With the help of rich colours and different light techniques, such as shading and highlighting, figures with the utmost vividness and richness were created. After all it is said that light creates the visible world. [RA] {EB}
However, it is said the main characteristic which gives Baroque power enough to "roar" is the localised light source. The central source of light creates the strong contrasts between light and dark required in energy packed pictures. [MH] {NR}
