    BAROQUE FOR 2ND CSE

    MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
    http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~fellows/hart206/baroque.htm

    Empiricismin philosophy, the view that all concepts originate in experience, that all concepts are about or applicable to things that can be experienced, or that all rationally acceptable beliefs or propositions are justifiable or knowable only through experience. This broad definition accords with the derivation of the term empiricismfrom the ancient Greek word empeiria, “experience.”

    Council of TrentCouncil of Trent [Credit: A. Dagli—De Agostini Editore/age fotostock]19th ecumenical council of theRoman Catholic Church, held in three parts from 1545 to 1563. Prompted by the Reformation, the Council of Trent was highly important for its sweeping decrees on self-reform and for its dogmatic definitions that clarified virtually every doctrine contested by theProtestants. Despite internal strife and two lengthy interruptions, the council played a vital role in revitalizing the Roman Catholic Church in many parts of Europe.
    ARCHITECTURE

    BERNINI 




    St. Peter's Basilica


    Pope Urban VIII commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to design and construct a structure that would be placed over the tomb of St. Peter during the building of the new St. Peter's Basilica (located in Rome). The canopy imitated cloth in bronze, as did many subsequent imitations.
    Bernini's design for the Baldachin incorporated giant solomonic columns inspired by columns that ringed the altar of the Old St. Peter's. These columns were originally donated by Constantine, and a false tradition asserts they are the columns from the Temple of Jerusalem. The lowest parts of the four columns of Bernini's Baldachin have a helical groove, and the middle and upper sections of the columns are covered in olive and bay branches, which are populated with a myriad of bees and small putti. Pope Urban VIII's family coat of arms, those of the Barberini family, with their signature bees, are at the base of every column.
    All of these combine to create a feeling of upward movement.
    A baldachin may also be used in formal processions, including Royal entriescoronation or funeral processions, to signify the elite status of the individual it covers
