The first time I had ever heard that word was during piano lessons a year ago. We studied the baroque period and their style, musically. And somehow, I can relate the music to the architecture, and the heavily powdered faces of the women of that time.
Baroque architecture concentrated more on heavily ornamenting the interior, and not so much on the exterior. They had ornate decorations and curving facades. I think they were trying to make the interior space of a structure very classy and luxuriant. The interior would have either a marble finish, or just a fake finish faux finish, which was just paint.They also had stuccos, which was an external façade characterized by a central projection and also practiced illusory effects.
During the rococo era, the difference was the palette-it consisted of softer and paler colours than the rich primary colours and also had darker tonalities.
