Home›Baroque, Rococo and Classicism›Place FoundedBrowse ByPlace FoundedPlace founded groups movements by the city or country where each one began. Wikipedia states, "Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality," a tradition rooted in specific European centers before movements spread elsewhere. Browsing by place shows where a movement's ideas first took hold.FactsPlace FoundedSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonCentury of OriginWell-attested17 1Geographic OriginWell-attestedRome, Italy 1Place FoundedFilter Results11 entriesPeriodAll1600 to 1650 (4)1600 to 1680 (1)1600 to 1750 (3)1715 to 1785 (2)1750 to 1850 (7)1788 to 1805 (1)Art Form Expressed InAllArchitecture (7)Music (3)Painting (10)Sculpture (7)Theatre (1)Influenced ByAllBaroque (2)Caravaggism (1)Mannerism (3)Rococo (7)Area (sq km)All99.32 (1)105.4 (1)119.02 (1)130.01 (1)254.39 (1)588.63 (1)1287.36 (1)1572 (1)13,352 (1)357,022 (1)10,186,000 (1)Climate ZoneAllTemperate (6)Tropical (3)Country CountAll44 (1)Elevation BandAllLowland (9)Founding YearAll753 BCE (1)250 BCE (1)47 (1)1122 (1)1760 (1)1861 (1)2007 (1)Government TypeAllRepublic (1)Highest Elevation (m)All5642 (1)Income GroupAllHigh (1)Independence or Founding YearAll1949 (1)LandlockedAllNo (1)PopulationAll90,470 (1)148,672 (1)378,140 (1)647,459 (1)855,654 (1)905,050 (1)2,047,602 (1)2,746,984 (1)9,089,736 (1)83,497,147 (1)745,173,774 (1)Time ZoneAllUTC+00:00 (1)UTC+01:00 (4)UTC+08:00 (1)UTC+09:00 (1)UTC-04:00 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11EuropePlace Founded5 entriesGermanyPlace Founded1 entryLondonPlace Founded1 entryMatiPlace Founded1 entryMaturinPlace Founded1 entryNaplesPlace Founded1 entryParisPlace Founded2 entriesRomePlace Founded3 entriesTualPlace Founded1 entryTurinPlace Founded1 entryUtrechtPlace Founded1 entrySources1.
