Baroque and Rococo

The Baroque and Rococo era rose in the 17th century, while the Renaissance Period was coming to an end. During this time, buildings had two different architectural styles in one. B
aroque started when the Renaissance rule of order and proportion started getting broken. Baroque has certain features that distinguish it. Some are: Flamboyant, vivid colors, depth, culture, curving facades, elaborate detail, sculpturing, ovals, sharp angles, and the reuse of old concepts, making them new.

This style is mostly found in Italy, France, Spain and Spanish America, Portugal and Portuguese America, Hungary, England, The Netherlands, and Russia. Some of Michaelangelo's late Roman buildings, are considered to be the first Baroque styled buildings. Baroque comes from the Italian word, barocco, meaning bizarre. Rococo Style is just a late form of Baroque. It rose in France in the early 18th century. It's mainly found in France, Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe, and Russia. Rococo is just a combination of the Italian word, barocco and the French word, rocaille.
