Submitted: January 10, 2025
Abstract. This work is a continuation of the publication: Demchenko A. I. Baroque (the mid-16th to mid-18th centuries): Collisions of contrasts. Essay 1 // Pan-Art. 2024. Vol. 4. Iss. 4. The essay systematically reveals the key contrasts and antitheses characteristic of the Baroque era. In this part, the author draws attention to the Baroque temperament, in particular, its characteristic inclination towards hyperbolization. The opposition and “cooperation” of the Baroque style with classicism and realism, as well as “the grand style” that emerged at the intersection of Baroque and classicism, receive separate consideration. The essay also highlights the common aspects of the artistic world of the Baroque epoch: conceptualism, the reproduction of life of a great mass of people, a sense of a large space, problematicity, a deep comprehension of human nature, the creation of “eternal images”, the evolution of opera, and Baroque humanism.
