2. Question: How does the subjectivist approach resolve Baroja, Unamuno, and Valle-Inclán, respectively? Pío Baroja believed the best approach was the accumulation of arbitrary events.

Understanding Baroque Art: Key Characteristics

The Classic Baroque Painting

Baroque art seeks a reasoned view of reality. It considers that the real truth lies in the reason for the cognitive experience.

Riace Warriors

Historical Context

These sculptures are in the free style of the Classical Greek period. During this time, artists were greatly concerned with playing with the balanced proportions of human anatomy, attempting to achieve the ideal model of human beauty. To accomplish this, the muscles are rounded and represent more natural positions, as opposed to the Praxitelean curve. The stiffness and frontality were lost, and the mathematical proportion between head and body was achieved.

Modernists also held an idealistic perspective, rejecting the vulgar materialism and pragmatism characteristic of bourgeois society. A sense of decline is significant in this art form, immersed in both excitement and darkness. It reflects a widespread dissatisfaction with society.

Romanesque Art

During this period, religious belief was deeply ingrained in society, with a prevalent fear of the world's end. Early religious buildings were constructed as acts of appeasement to God, drawing inspiration from apocalyptic visions. Europe experienced a series of disasters, including poor harvests and widespread death, leading Christians to believe that God was displeased. This belief fueled the construction of churches and fervent prayer. The anticipated end of the world at the year 1000 did not occur, leading to the belief that the date had been miscalculated.

Art became intrinsically linked to religion, with Romanesque art emerging as an international style, fostering the creation of pilgrimage routes.
