where on the church pictured above can you locate evidence of baroque influence?\na. there are dramatic towers on both sides of the dome.\nb. the frieze has a detailed, ornate, bas relief.\nc. the facade contains deep porticos which cause a dramatic play of light and shadow.\nd. none of the above
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine Baroque influence, we analyze each option:
- Option a: The towers here are more classical (e.g., Palladian) than Baroque - dramatic towers in Baroque often have more dynamic, ornate details, and this church’s towers lack that typical Baroque flair.
- Option b: A detailed bas - relief frieze is more associated with classical or Renaissance styles; Baroque is known for dynamic, three - dimensional ornamentation, not just detailed bas - relief.
- Option c: Deep porticos creating light - shadow play is a key Baroque feature (emphasizing drama, movement, and contrast). The facade’s porticos here would create such effects, fitting Baroque’s focus on dramatic spatial and light - shadow dynamics.
- Option d is incorrect as option c is valid.
Answer:
c. The facade contains deep porticos which cause a dramatic play of light and shadow.
