프랑스의 바로크적 경건성과 대 콩데의 장례식

Abstract

This article aims at restructuring the relation of the baroque and the classicism in the context of political history of the seventeenth century France on the basis of recent studies on Louis XIV. The Baroque defined as the transitional trend of art from the classicism of the Renaissance to the Rococo of the eighteenth century and used as a concept of the periodization sometimes has been caused a confusion. In France in particular, the Baroque was regarded as an aspect in contrast with the classicism. The concept of the Baroque defined in this context contains the meaning of criticism that it is nothing but an expression of unstable state of emotion lacking in the strict regularity and rules in the ancient times. This is bound up with the French political history of the seventeenth century. This article tried to review the true character of the Baroque by focusing on the historicity of the Baroque. Accordingly, it researched how the Baroque, which had been born with the catholic reformation in the second half of the sixteenth century in Italy, was introduced into France and disapproved, and survived actually in the French historical background in the seventeenth century. Furthermore, it reviewed the life and the funeral of Grand Condé, a model of baroque figure as a microscopic example that embodied vividly the destiny of the french Baroque.
