Abstract: |
Chapter 4 explores the multisensory visual space of the Baroque era. From painting and sculpture to illusionistic frescoes and ceiling decorations, space is transformed into a theatrical, phantasmagorical realm—one in which forms appear to break free from their boundaries and actively invade the viewer’s space. This dynamic, multiaxial spatial experience—characteristic of the Baroque—comes to an end with the rise of Enlightenment rationalism and the aesthetic principles of Neoclassicism. In contrast, Neoclassical space is governed by restraint, order, and clarity, reflecting the moral ideals and civic virtues associated with the "good citizen."
