While Renaissance architecture was characterized
by circles and straight lines, the Baroque was the
era of ovals and undulating walls which
alternated between concave and convex.
Baroque buildings became ever more elaborately
ornamented. Interiors were covered in paintings,
and windows and doors were capped with
complex shapes. Garlands, vases, urns,
cartouches, and scrolling were used for
decoration. Composite capitals and other
variations on the ancient orders were used.
Pilasters (columns partly attached to walls)
appeared on facades in great abundance. In
order to appear more monumental, columns and
pilasters were paired and often extended over
two or more stories, forming what is called the
colossal order. In order to maximize drama and
grandeur, architects came to incorporate the
spaces around buildings themselves in their
designs. The manipulation of the surrounding
environments was highly controlled. Shrubs and
hedges were cut into cubic shapes, flowers were
planted in geometric patterns, and the gardens
and woodlands surrounding palaces were
penetrated by straight rays of avenues. This total
control molded the viewer’s entire experience of
the shapes.
