Abstract

AbstractRobert Harbison defines the Baroque in the 17th and early 18th centuries, which is so often characterised in contrast with the Renaissance by its excess and drama. In doing so, he challenges the reader to consider whether this artful style of subversion, tension, movement, gravity‐defying feats and freedom was really one of whimsical frivolity or subversive disquiet.
