Features: The art of 17th-18th century Europe is a significant stage in the development of art history. It serves as a transitional period, following the Renaissance and paving the way for 19th-century European art. Baroque art from the 17th century influenced later Rococo, Romanticism, Impressionism, and even the Fauvism and Expressionism of the 20th century. Academic Classicism of the 17th century also impacted Neoclassicism and Cubism in later years. Additionally, the realist tendencies of the 17th century had a clear influence on 18th-century bourgeois art and 19th-century Realism.
