The Baroque architecture was brought right after the end of the renaissance architecture and it lasted from 1600 to 1750. This new type of architecture according to Leland M. Roth was elaborated, embellished, and complex, compared to preceding simpler forms. Baroque architecture shifted towards visual complexity and created a sense of emotional impact instead of just intellectual satisfaction. This emotional impact was created by a new technique were the "line between three-dimensional reality and mystical illusion was increasingly blurred". A clear example of this new technique was seen in Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Cornaro Chapel in Rome,Italy.This new architecture was also complex in size and structure, buildings were bigger in size and the decorations of the outside seem to be the main focus of the building.
well done!
