The Difference Between Baroque, Romantic and Gothic

The Difference Between Baroque, Romantic

Baroque style:

St. Peter’s Basilica. the “new” basilica, built from 1506-1626, is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture.The four-poster, solid-bronze canopy over the main altar, or the baldacchino of St. Peter’s, appears almost dwarfed by the dome towering right above it. So you might think it’s not that tall. But it is. It’s almost 10 stories tall—it’s just that the dome, above it, is even bigger: 452 feet. (The baldacchino, by the way, also uses no less than 100,000 pounds of bronze).
