  Early Europe & Colonial Americas - Khan Academy

Key Ideas - BAROQUE
  * Art during the Baroque period is influenced by the Counter-Reformation, symbolized the Catholic resurgence (after the Protestant Reformation). 
* Baroque art flourished in Holland and became of the voice to counter Catholic art.
* Baroque can be separated in 2 schools: classicists (influenced by Raphael) and naturalists (inspired by Titian).
* Baroque architecture is associated with the grand and majestic royal courts.

  History
  * The finishing of St. Peter's became a crusade for the Catholic Church
* 1650: Increased power and influence of French Kings. This shifted the art world from Rome to France.
* France became center of modern art and innovation. 
* The Thirty Years (1618-1648). It devastated Europe which produced a halt in art making. It was a culmination of religious wars of the 16th century: Catholics vs. Protestants. German princes wanted secular power back.
* The Counter-Reformation movement reaffirmed all the things the Protestant Reformation was against. Protestants were iconoclasts.
* 1648: The Peace of Westphalia- gave religious freedom (along with many other additions but for the sake of Art History, this is the most important).

  Key Ideas - ROCOCO
  * 1730-1790s
* Shift of power to the aristocrats paralleled in Baroque and Rococo.
* French Royal Academy set the taste for art in Paris
* Strong Satirical paintings
* Epitome: paintings that show aristocratic people enjoying leisures
Rococo comes from the French words rocaille and coquilles. Rocaille means stone and coquilles means shells. So "rococo" is a combination of the two French words, thus meaning "stone shells".

  History
  * Death of Louis XIV in 1715 brought a resurgence of aristocratic life.
* Town houses became centers for the Rococo style.
* French Revolution broke out in 1789 which brings about an interest in the Greek ideal of Liberty and democracy. (Age of Enlightenment & Revolution - emergence of Neoclassicism, Romanticism)
* Voltaire (1694-1778) = Science/Technological Improvement 
* Rousseau (1712-1778) = Nature alone must be society's guide.
