Neo-baroque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neo-baroque is a term used to describe artistic creations which display important aspects of Baroque style, but are not from the Baroque period proper. This can concern music, architecture, painting, and the decorative arts, but is most frequently used to refer to music or architecture.
Some examples of Neo-baroque architecture:
- The Akasaka Palace in Tokyo, Japan
- The Alferaki Palace in Taganrog, Russia
- The Ashton Memorial in Lancaster, England
- The Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
- The Bode Museum in Berlin, Germany
- The Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, Danmark
- The Cluj-Napoca National Theatre in Cluj-Napoca, Romania
- The Ortaköy Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey
- The Palais Garnier (also known as the Paris Opera) in Paris, France
- The Semper Oper in Dresden, Germany
- The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest, Hungary
- The former royal palace, today the National Art Gallery of Bulgaria in Sofia, Bulgaria
There are also number of post-modern buildings in a style that might be called "Baroque" – for example The Dancing House in Prague by Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry, who have described it as "new Baroque".[1]
