Mannerism and Baroque Art are artistic styles that were once very popular in Early Europe. These were named by famous Art historians. These two have established rules on how they are made depending on the texture, paint, color, perspective and ideas.
Mannerism is derived from the Italian word, maniera, which means “manner,” or “style.” Mannerism, in terms of being a stylistic label, was gradually noticed by some. This was used by Jacob Burkhardt (Swiss historian) and made famous by German historians (art) in the early twentieth century. They categorized the apparently hard to categorize art of the 16th in Italy. This kind of art does not exhibit the rational and harmonious approaches affiliated with High Renaissance.
Baroque Art, according to the Oxford Dictionary, came from the Spanish and Portuguese “barocco,” “Baroque or French term, “baroque.” These words mean an “imperfect or rough pearl.” This word was applied to the stylistic designations in the seventieth and early eighteenth century. This is a French transliteration of its Portuguese expression, “perola barocca,” meaning “irregular pearl.” This word was used to portray its noisy abundance and eccentric redundancy.
