Post 6 Lecture Baroque Theatre Modern Opera

After the gothic period of architecture ended. There was a new and most would say more technologically advanced new style. This was Baroque which came in around (1600). At this time, the Protestant religion was one of the Catholic Churches rivals. Protestant had simple architecture very neat and not extremely detailed. The Catholic was much different using the Baroque art, music and architecture to counter the simple Protestant architecture. They did this always to one up the other religions to show how much greater the Catholics were. The most infamous baroque architecture during these times were Bernini, who would design Churches for the Pope to speak and teach Christianity. This was probably the most important architectural church in the land. Very sacred. Berninis goal was to fit as many people as possible! Very open and big enough to fit everyone in the land. “The motherly arms of the church.”
