The beginning of Baroque art today

At the beginning, the baroque word comes from Barroco, which means in Portuguese pearls with irregular contours. It is used between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries during the Renaissance and classicism. This word then becomes common especially when talking about furniture. It is used to designate a style. At this time, many artists are inspired by the Rococo style to create elements with multiple irregularities. It was in 1580 that style became an important movement in Italy. The armchairs are ventrus. There are also dressers of the same invoice. Late Baroque and Rococo appear.

The most elegant barroco furniture is made for the court of Louis XIV, Charles Boulle is at the origin of furniture with unusual shapes. It is then common to find on some furniture like baroque sofas, inlays of metals like tin, bronze or silver. For the most beautiful furniture, it is also used tortoiseshell or ebony. The sculptures are composed of classical motifs or recall Roman frescoes. The years go by and the rococo infiltrates everywhere. It is found in music, architecture, sculpture, pictorial art and furniture. This current is very popular until around 1730.

The church adopts this style and makes it even more fashionable. It is found in sacred furniture. Today, baroque art is mainly present in the history of furniture. We thus find the Rococo style sofa in our time reminiscent of the seventeenth century but more refined. This style seat is less ostentatious, more discreet than before but it keeps a flared base, warm colors. The Baroque sofa goes very well with other objects and furniture with a contemporary design.

The Baroque style continues to inspire the design of our living rooms, with seating combining the past and the design of today

After five centuries of history, baroque art has continued to leave today true contemporary masterpieces. The great contemporary designers like Philippe Starck or Marcel Wanders are inspired by their various creations. This style of antique furniture goes against the current of minimalism and becomes almost inevitable. Many of these great artists work with capiton, gilding, carved wood. Baroque furniture such as armchairs, picture frames and chairs and sofas can be found here. In many series you can see this style of furniture. Especially in television series in the baroque style of Padrino casa (baroque godfather's house).These furniture are very popular decorators because they are very ostentatious.
