Neo-baroque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neo-baroque is a term used to describe artistic creations which display important aspects of Baroque style, but are not from the Baroque period proper. This can concern music, architecture, painting, and the decorative arts, but is most frequently used to refer to music or architecture.
