The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCI), to December 31, 1700 (MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French ''Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde. The semi-feudal territorial French nobility was weakened and subjugated to the power of an absolute monarchy through the reinvention of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to a gilded prison, in which a greatly expanded ro ...

Baroque Architecture In France
The Baroque ( , , ) is a Western style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished from the early 17th century until the 1750s. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep color, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to the rest of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, Poland and Russia. By the 1730s, it had evolved into an even more flamboyant style, called ''rocaille'' or ''Rococo'', which appeared in France and Central Europe until the mid to late 1 ...

Saint-Sauveur Church In Brest
The Saint-Saviour Church in Brest is a Jesuit-style church located in the Recouvrance district of Brest, France, constructed between 1740 and 1749. History of the chapels in Recouvrance In the Recouvrance district, the du Chastel family, local lords, built a chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria during the late Middle Ages. This chapel was situated along the banks of the Penfeld River, near the present-day Jean-Bart gate of the Brest Arsenal. In 1346, John IV of Montfort founded the Notre-Dame-de-Recouvrance chapel in the village of Sainte-Catherine. The chapel's name, meaning "Our Lady of Recovery," reflected its role as a site where sailors and their families offered ''ex-votos'' to pray for the safe return of ships departing from Brest. By the late 17th century, the Notre-Dame-de-Recouvrance chapel had become too small to accommodate the growing population. In 1679, the residents of Recouvrance initiated the construction of a new chapel dedicated to Saint Sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
