Week 5 Response

These two images known as the San Carlo alle Quattro and David were developed by Baroque architects. These works are from Italy, which is where the Baroque architecture was developed. In the San Carlo alle Quattro, the complex design and use of ovals makes the building stand out as Baroque. Along with that we can see a Cartouche, which was used to represent some sort of decorative element or emblem. The building is also built of marble with Corinthian columns. The picture on the right of David throwing the stone contains a lot of movement and curvature, which were key aspects of the Baroque style.
