To celebrate the 110th birthday of Winton Dean: Winton would still seem to be the only person to have had absolutely every surviving print and manuscript dealing with Handel's oratorios and operas in his hands.

Happy Birthday to Arcangelo Corelli who, had he not been cruelly snatched from us by time, would be 373 years old today.

A black-and-white photograph capturing a putto statue, viewed from behind, perched atop the Zwinger Palace in Dresden. The putto, possibly draped in flowing cloth, gazes down into the expansive courtyard below. The statue’s intricate details, including the folds of the drapery, are highlighted against the grand Baroque architecture of the palace. The courtyard features symmetrical buildings with arched windows, decorative balustrades, and statues, all framed by a dramatic, cloud-filled sky.

This image captures a breathtaking architectural view of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, Germany. The photograph is taken from an ornate archway, framed by intricate Baroque sculptures and decorative balustrades. Two statues, one on each side of the arch, depict classical figures, adding to the grandeur of the scene.

Beyond the archway, a long, symmetrical pathway stretches into the distance, flanked by low walls and additional statues. The pathway leads the eye towards a stately building in the background, set against a vivid blue sky with scattered clouds. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the intricate details of the stonework, showcasing the elegance and opulence of Baroque architecture.

A Flying Angel by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta fascinates with its dynamic movement and dramatic chiaroscuro. This rare preparatory study unveils the artist's innovative approach, blending tradition with a unique vision. How does this capture of motion resonate with you?

The Bach 'Double' is all about the conversation. Watch as Kremer and Grindenko trade lines with an intensity that feels almost telepathic. At [04:15], they enter the Largo ma non tanto, and the lyricism here is absolutely soul-stirring. The intertwining melodies create a tapestry of sound that is both complex and deeply human. If you appreciate the art of the duet, this is the gold standard you need to hear right now. 🎶 #Baroque #MusicHistory #Artistry

The image shows three buildings in Riga, Latvia known as The Three Brothers. It is the oldest residential building complex in Riga. The trio was built between the 15th and 17th centuries. To the right stands the White Brother, the oldest, dating to the late 15th century. It features a white facade with characteristic crow-stepped gables, Gothic niches, and early Renaissance details. The Middle Brother was built in 1646, it has a pale yellow exterior in the style of Dutch Mannerism. Above the entrance is the Latin inscription “Soli Deo gloria!” ("Glory to God alone!"). To the left is the Green Brother, the narrowest and youngest, dating from the late 17th century. This green Baroque building features a decorative mask on its facade meant to ward off evil spirits.

Im #SchlossCorvey gibt es einige, wie hier im #Kaisersaal, wo die Äbte des Stifts Corvey als Reichsfürsten des Heiligen Römischen Reiches hohen Besuch empfingen. Heute wird er für Konzerte und Lesungen genutzt.

There's plenty at #Corvey Palace, like these #chairs in the Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall), a ceremonial reception hall where the abbots of Corvey Abbey – acting as territorial princes of the Holy Roman Empire – received prestigious guests. Today, it is used for concerts and book readings.

This opulent hall features an ornate Baroque-style interior, adorned with intricate ceiling frescoes depicting vibrant scenes. The ceiling is embellished with elaborate stucco mouldings and decorative medallions, each showcasing detailed portraits. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space, illuminating the red-carpeted floor and rows of neatly arranged red chairs. The walls are decorated with framed paintings and gilded mirrors, adding to the grandeur. A grand chandelier hangs from the ceiling, enhancing the room’s elegance.

One of my favorite albums ever is this recording of the Goldbergs on bassoons and contrabassoon. #bach #baroque

Histoire de changer du gris et de la pluie, partons à la Haye voir le Triomphe de Frederick-Henri de Nassau, peint par Jacob Jordaens, vers 1648-1650. Une scène qui mesure la bagatelle de 7,28m sur 7,55m, toute en sobriété et légèreté.

L’œuvre est commandée par la veuve de Frederick-Henri, Amalia von Solms, pour le petit palais du Huis ten Bosch.

La peinture représente, au centre, un homme assis sur un char doré, portant une armure et une cape rouge. Son char est tiré par 4 chevaux blancs ; il est couronné par une statue dorée. De nombreux personnages s'agitent autour de lui : en haut à gauche, un squelette (la mort) et divers anges ; en bas à gauche, 4 femmes en riches robes à la mode du 17e siècle. En bas à droite, plusieurs hommes, dont un jeune à cheval regarde vers nous. En haut, des petits anges qui tiennent une grosse guirlande végétale qui forme une sorte d'arc de triomphe, au centre duquel un écriteau porte une inscription en latin. Les couleurs sont chaudes et brillantes, la composition très dynamique, la lumière contrastée mais sans fort clair-obscur
