"Whatever the original meaning of the word Baroque, or the scope of the concept, its meaning until recently was bad. From the Enlightenment till late in the nineteenth century, the view had prevailed that was still voiced by Benedetto Croce as late as 1924: "Art is never baroque, and the Baroque is never art." The view prevailing at the present time is vastly different. In 1857 Delacroix noted in his Journal that Baroque art has great values lacking in the classical art of antiquity. By 1881 Willamowitz-Moellendorf was using the term generically, speaking of Hellenism as Greek Baroque. By 1945 this twofold sense of the word Baroque was widely established: 1) as an historic concept, to designate the period or stage in Western culture following the Renaissance roughly equivalent to the seventeenth century; 2) as an abstract psychological concept, to designate a type of expression that may occur in any historic culture and may recur at various stages of development."
