Comments on: An overview of Baroque art http://arachnid.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/an-overview-of-baroque-art/ This is where I share all my intellectual cerebrations. These thoughts are, more often than not, about films, literature, art, aesthetics, music and - well - some shades of other pieces of my mind.

That place is fantastic. Is Rodin baroque? If he is, I'm a fan of baroque! I was lucky enough to spend hours at the musee Rodin in Paris once. That place is fantastic. Is Rodin baroque?

Could you tell if you can grant me permission or who I might ask for permission? <b>Reply:</b> Usually the copyright expires fifty (or sixty) years after the artist's death. If there's no special copyright taken by the museum holding that painting, you should be able to use it without any special permission. - <i>ritwik</i> I would like to use the image of the creation by Michelangelo for a book cover.

One memorable lifetime memory was going to the van Gogh museum. I was there for 4-5 hours, enthralled by how seeing his work 'in the flesh' gave it a whole new depth for me. My poor sister walked out ofter a couple of hours and waited for me outside...needless to say she did not speak to me for the rest of the day :) You're lucky to have gone to the Louvre, I hope one day I get that chance too.

As a painter myself I enjoy all kinds of artist's works. Though I do favor the Impressionists I am truly awed by the likes of Michelangelo, da Vinci, Caravaggio, Bernini etc. I would love to live in Italy for instance to spend every day studying the sculptures and artwork of the great Masters. I hope you do more posts like this. <b>Reply:</b> There are a few European cities I would love to visit. Paris and Prague top my list. I am glad you enjoyed reading this post. I do plan a brief tour through European art. So the impressionists are certainly going appear on the Evergreen Leaves. And so shall the other schools of painting. - <i>Ritwik</i> I certainly enjoyed the tour with you Ritwik. As a painter myself I enjoy all kinds of artist’s works.

Although I haven't for a while i used to sketch and paint quite a bit, I adored these two painters especially I've even been lucky enough to see some of their work in museums. If you get the chance you should definitely make the effort to see an artist's work in the flesh, it just changes everything for you and you can really see their genius in their brush strokes not just subject matter. Thanks again <b>Reply:</b> I had once gone to the Louvre, but I was only 11 years old then. Too young and too immature to understand the nuances of the masterpieces I was looking at. I have not studied Rembrandt at all. But the little that I have seen of Van Gogh's works, I greatly admire him. I am looking forward to a visit to Europe. Don't know when that will happen. - <i>Ritwik</i> Just to add, I’ve always loved Rembrandt especially, and Van Gogh.
