Baroque came to English from a French word meaning irregularly shaped.. At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.
Only in modern times was the term freed from such unflattering associations. It is used to describe art produced in the period between the end of the Renaissance in the 1500's and the beginnings of modernism in the later 1700's. The baroque period is very rich and diverse.So no single term can accurately describe all of the art produced in these years.he term baroque is used by art historians to describe European painting, sculpture, and architecture created in the period from about 1600 to 1750.
