Baroque – period 16 – mid 18th century. Classicism - 17th century. Rococo – 18th century Realism - 18-19th century.        Mannerism is a movement in Western European art of the 2nd half of the 16th century. The art of mannerism reflected the crisis of Renaissance culture; Mannerism was a kind of transitional style between the art of the Renaissance and Baroque - a tendency towards exotic costumes of characters, - elongated figures, - affective gestures, - bright, contrasting tones   One of the artistic styles of the late 16th century, mid-18th century, gravitating towards ceremonial solemnity, decorativeness , tension and dynamism of images. Baroque is characterized by a tendency towards ensemble and synthesis of arts. Already one of his first statues, “David” (1623, Borghese Museum and Gallery, Rome), clearly shows the difference between new art and the art of the Renaissance. Michelangelo's "David" was powerful, simple and majestic in his quiet strength. Bernini's "David", created a little over 100 years later, is depicted in dynamics - at the moment of throwing a stone from a sling: he is all in motion, tense, angry, even biting his lip. All these features are characteristic of the Baroque style, which replaced the simple and strict style of the Renaissance (see article “The Art of the Italian Renaissance”). For the Baroque, the outward expression of passion and excitement became more important than human feelings themselves.    Classicism – Artistic style in Western European art 17th century Viewed antiquity as an ethical and artistic form It is characterized by heroic pathos, plastic harmony and clarity St. Peter's Basilica in Rome Michelangelo    Rococo is a stylistic movement in European art in the first half of the 18th century, which is characterized by a graceful, whimsical ornamental rhythm Task Rococo art: to please, touch, entertain. Main plots: complex love affairs, fleeting hobbies, risky actions of the heroes.  Realism is an objective reflection of reality - the truth of life, embodied by specific means of various styles and types of art   His works constitute one of the pinnacles of European and world art, one of the highest achievements in the development of realism. In Rembrandt’s painting “The Holy Family” (1645), in the images of the heroes of the gospel legend - Mary, the infant Christ and Joseph - the most ordinary and beautiful human feelings in their sincerity and purity are embodied - the tenderness and caring of a mother, the feeling of home peace - that which understandable and dear to people at all times. The furnishings of the room are extremely simple, this is the home of a poor carpenter, who is immediately busy with his craft. Rembrandt always portrayed people from among the people with great sympathy, and always sympathized with old age and loneliness.
