巴洛克（Baroque)，是一种代表欧洲文化的典型艺术风格。

这个词最早来源于葡萄牙语（BARROCO)，意为“不圆的珍珠”，最初特指形状怪异的珍珠。而在意大利语（BAROCCO)中有“奇特，古怪，变形”等解释。在法语中，“Baroque”成为形容词，有“俗丽凌乱”之意。

欧洲人最初用这个词指“缺乏古典主义均衡性的作品”，其原本是18世纪崇尚古典艺术的人们对17世纪不同于文艺复兴风格的一个带贬义的称呼。而现在，这个词已失去原有的贬义，仅指17世纪风行于欧洲的一种艺术风格。

作为一种艺术形式的称谓，它是古典主义者在16世纪下半叶在意大利发起的，在17 世纪的欧洲普遍盛行，是背离了文艺复兴艺术精神的一种艺术形式。古典主义者认为巴洛克是一种堕落瓦解的艺术，只是到了后来，才对巴洛克艺术有了一个较为公正的评价。

巴洛克风格以浪漫主义的精神作为形式设计的出发点，以反古典主义的严肃、拘谨、偏重于理性的形式 ，赋予了更为亲切和柔性的效果。巴洛克风格虽然脱胎于文艺复兴时期的艺术形成，但却有其独特的风格特点。它摒弃了古典主义造型艺术上的刚劲、挺拔、肃穆、古板的遗风，追求宏伟、生动、热情、奔放的艺术效果。巴洛克风格可以说是一种极端男性化的风格，是充满阳刚之气的，是汹涌狂烈和坚实的。多表现于奢华和夸张和不规则的排列形式。大多表现于皇室宫廷的范围内，如皇室家具，服饰和皇室餐具器皿和音乐等。

Dramatic scenes: The rich spectacle of the BaroqueFrom dramatically-lit paintings to elaborate, gilded interiors, the Baroque era introduced a new dimension to Western art. In place of the harmonious perspectives and elegant proportions of the Renaissance came a world of momentum, energy, and heightened spectacle. The style influenced many forms and disciplines between the 16th and 18th century, infusing painting, sculpture, architecture, and music with a direct, often emotive, appeal to the audience.This TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 edition focuses on Baroque painting. Through mythological and religious scenes, still-lifes, and beyond, we explore how a vivid vocabulary of deep colors, intense shadows, dramatic gestures, and diagonal lines infiltrated both Northern and Southern schools. Along the way, we meet such leading Baroque practitioners as Nicolas Poussin, Annibale Carraci, Caravaggio, Velazquez, Rubens, and Rembrandt, and examine their particular innovations in composition, narrative, and light to achieve a Baroque sensibility."
