Many works commissioned by merchants or government organizations

Rembrandt van Rijn One of the greatest of all of the

Baroque artists BUT does not fit neatly into any one

category An enormous range of scenes

throughout his career Used the extreme light and dark of

the Baroque style More intimate and psychological

than most Used classical restraint

Rembrandt Samson and Delilah

Jan Vermeer Portrayed ordinary people doing

ordinary things

Jan Vermeer The Milkmaid

French Classicism Late 17th century artists and writers

made a deliberate effort to imitate classical style

Subject matter and style of classical iniquity

Used discipline, balance, restraint

Similar to that of Italian Renaissance Was the official style of Louis XIV’s court

French Classicism Subject matter often an incident in

Roman History

Or ideal representations of people, horses, etc

Buildings were exact models of Roman structures

French Classicism Nicholas Poussin is the best example

of an artist in this genre

But Racine, the dramatist, copied the style, themes of the ancients in his plays

Poussin Rape of the Sabine Women
