French Baroque: Walls and Ceilings

The ceiling is second only to the chimney and it is an integral part of Baroque style design (Blakemore, 2006). The beam ceiling is popular, flat, barrel shaped, dome shaped, transition from wall to ceiling. The ceiling may be kept flat and white, but paints, mural paintings and stucco are often used, especially when residents are able to withstand high levels of decoration. As a remarkable example, Fontainebleau painted a magical picture on the ceiling. As the ceiling becomes the focus of the room, illusion paintings are becoming more common (Harwood et al., 2002).

In order to fulfill its publicity role, the Catholic-style Baroque art tends to be a large public art work such as a huge mural painting used in the palace and the ceiling of the church and the cellar and a huge mural painting. Baroque paintings represent an important element of Catholic doctrine whether directly in the Bible or indirectly in mythical or allegorical works. In addition to this memorable noble method, the painter often uses a spiral that rotates and a strong gorgeous color scheme as well as an upward diagonal line to portray the feeling of strong movement to glare and surprise. In order to improve the atmosphere, new dark calcium and light contrast technology was developed. Writing brush is creamy and wide, and in many cases it brings a thick shameless shame. However, the dramatic and melodrama of baroque painting was not accepted by later critics like the influential John Ruskin (1819-1900) who thought it was wrong.

Baroque buildings are often expanded to include public plazas facing them, essentially dwarfing their environments. This dramatic and wonderful architecture and scene covering the ceiling and walls is increasingly becoming a way to spread the beliefs of the Catholic Church and further strengthen the country during Protestant reforms. Baroque churches emphasize religious worship; the Baroque palace has higher power and order. Elsewhere, baroque architecture is more quiet and sophisticated in Protestant areas in the UK, the Netherlands and other Scandinavian countries. In Protestant countries and France, architecture is geometric and accurate. The French Baroque style is independent, and the French especially call it "classicism". Think about it: Versailles
