Baroque, Rococo and Classicism

The sequence of court and Enlightenment-era styles running from the dramatic, theatrical Baroque through the ornamental Rococo to the classical revivals of Neoclassicism, including the German Weimar Classicism variant and, as a deliberate cross-artform placement call, the musical Classical era, which Grove Music Online and the Metropolitan Museum's own period divisions treat as the direct temporal and stylistic counterpart to visual Neoclassicism. Belongs here: Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Weimar Classicism, Classical (music era). Does not belong here: the Romantic reaction against classical restraint that followed, which is grouped under Romanticism and Realism.
