Since our web site is designed using the Baroque motif we have taken the liberty to provide you some educational information on the "Baroque era" which you can find below:

Baroque Art and Architecture

Baroque Art and Architecture, the style dominating the art and architecture of Europe and certain European colonies in the Americas throughout the 1600s, and in some places, until 1750. A number of its characteristics continue in the art and architecture of the first half of the 18th century, although this period is generally termed rococo (see Rococo Style) and corresponds roughly with King Louis XV of France. Manifestations of baroque art appear in virtually every country in Europe, with other important centers in the Spanish and Portuguese settlements in the Americas and in other outposts. The term baroque also defines periods in literature and music.

Baroque Music

The Spirit of the Baroque Era: The Baroque Era stretched from 1600 until the death of Bach in 1750. The origin of the term: "baroque" comes from the Portuguese and refers to an "irregular shaped pearl". This is indeed an apt description of the Baroque time period, which included the production of some of the greatest music of all time, but also was a time of some of the bloodiest wars in history.
