Baroque

For me, Eroticism is not only about visualizing something that has sexual appearance. The word “Erotic” has a much deeper meaning behind it. I noticed that it is more about combinations of surroundings that seduce people into it.

Comparing Renaissance to Baroque, even both of them look very similar but I think we can see the difference between both of them which is the way of representation.  The baroque period developed how the arts were represent with more feelings and expressions. We can say that they add the "Erotic” value into their art.  

                First thing is about the feelings that Baroque added into the art. We can see from statues, even it is a human statue just like the Renaissance but the baroque’s style create the statue with a face that really shows the feelings of it. Also, the baroque statue were created with a posing that really express the movements, which is also consist as erotic compared to the previous renaissance style.

                Then about the forms, it becomes more erotic due to the use of curves instead of only simple lines. The curves are not only giving new appearance but it gives new feelings towards the structure. Those curves become one of the main elements that help baroque architecture to express flowing movements by its structure.

                The baroque also considered as erotic because they use surroundings components as one of the elements of their art. There are the uses of lights, ornaments, and patterns which effectively seduce and draw the attention of people towards the art which is the main concept of erotic in my opinion.  These creations of art and architecture are filled with details, complexity, and feelings and mysterious. 

                In my opinion I really think that Baroque is well developed in term of eroticism from the previous period. It is the architecture that not only express through their unique forms but also by all of those hidden feelings in each elements. These components may not be noticed easily due to the complexity of details but it provides feelings that really transform the space into an erotic architecture.
