look at baroque movement slide for test  The Baroque movement began in Italy with the classical language of Antiquity and the Renaissance  European architecture of the 17th century, referred to as Baroque, is characterized by magnificence, grandeur and richness in invention, design and, usually, in scale.  The Papacy in Rome remained a principal motivating force and commanding Popes continued to support important architectural commissions. But political developments throughout Europe during the preceding century, particularly the urge toward nationbuilding and centralized authority, produced a new range of powerful royalty who were patrons of architecture and urban planning.  No better place is this realized than in France.  Louis XIV = Baroque. 1643-1700  Louis XIV was the “Sun King”. He made France the undisputed leader in art and design.  His biggest mistake was revoking the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
