Neo-Baroque is a term used to describe artistic
creations which display important aspects of Baroque style, but are not from
the Baroque period proper, around the 17th-18th centuries. It is most
frequently used to refer to music or architecture, but can also concern
painting or the decorative arts. There are also number of post-modern buildings in a style that might be called "Baroque" – for example The Dancing House in Prague by Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry, who have described it as "new Baroque". ![]() The Akasaka Palace in Tokyo, Japan (1899). |
