    T HESAVRVS BOLETÍN DEL INSTITUTO CARO Y CUERVO TOMO XXX Mayo-Agosto 1975 NÚMERO 2 PROBLEMS OF THE BAROQUE IN 1975 The following article does not try to continué the "Cri- tical survey of the Baroque theories" which I presented in this periodical IV (1948), 461-491, since this survey actually was continued in my book Estudios sobre el Barroco (Madrid, Gre- dos 1966, second edition 1973). Today I am rather interested in actual problems generally recognized as central, and in the attempt at their Solutions. There is agreement now on the fact that the transition from Renaissance to Baroque is such a slow process that it filis a whole period (roughly 1520 to 1600) which art historians cali Mannerism. One tried there- fore first to find criteria for the distinction of these two histo- rical phaenomena, Mannerism and Baroque, and to explain their fundamental differences and their possible overlappings. The second problem was, how the thus chronologically new- ly fixed Baroque fades out into something new which some believe to be the Classicism (particularly in France), which others, like the art historians, believe to be the Rococó. The latter still very debated concept supposes in retrospect a kind of coincidence between Classicism and Baroque. Furthermore, envisioning all this from a European and comparative view- point supposes time lags between the domination of a style trend in different countries, supposes the concept of dying and 210 HELMUT HATZFELD BICC, XXX, 1975 upcoming literatures, supposes the reckoning with the un- settled question of originis, and most of all, the importance of the psychological and sociological background which can- not be everywhere the same.

  • Mannerist Architecture and the Baroque in This Lecture I Want To
    Mannerist Architecture and the Baroque In this lecture I want to discuss briefly the nature of Mannerist architecture and then begin to consider baroque art. We have already paid some attention to Mannerist painting and sculpture; and have seen how in the work of painters like Rosso Fiorentino, Bronzino and Parmigianino; and sculptors like Giovanni Bologna and Cellini, that after 1527, classical forms came to be used in a spirit alien to them; each artist developing a highly personal style containing capricious, irrational and anti-classical effects. Although the term Mannerism was first applied to painting before it came to be used to describe the period style between 1527 and 1600; it is possible to find similar mannerist qualities in the architecture of the time. And again it is Michelangelo whose work provides, as it were, a fountainhead of the new style. Rosso’s Decent from the Cross, which we have taken as one of the first signs of Mannerist strain and tension in the High Renaissance world, was painted in 1521. Three years later Michelangelo designed his Laurentian Library,* that is in 1524. It was designed to house the library of the Medicis; and we may take it as the first important building exhibiting Mannerist features.* We can best consider these features by comparing the interior of the library with the interior of an early Renaissance building such as Brunelleschi’s S. Lorenzo. Consider his use of columns. In Brunelleschi they are free standing. When he uses pilasters they project out from a wall as you expect a buttress to.
