Consideraţii teoretice privind barocul în artă - scop sau mijloc al persuasiunii?
Theoretical considerations on the Baroque Art - aim or means of persuasion?

Summary/Abstract: The research has sought to underline some theoretical concerns of the Baroque art that represented an important and recurrent part of Europe's sensibility, integrating the man into the transcendental universe much more accessible in times of uncertainties as were the 1700s in Habsburg province of the Banat. Thematic approaches of the provincial Baroque sculpture are regarded as tendencies of evolution in the art of the Banat, designed to stimulate and express religious devotions, having didactic values, required in order to instruct throughout image and gesture. It is well known that similar themes and types of representations realized in different contexts may express different ideas. Different connotations for similar themes that express opposing ideas, were designed to inculcate Christian values in the area designated as a corridor of civilization, that of the imperial eighteenth century province of the Banat. Also we follow the formation of a local artistic discourse in the visual rhetoric of the artistic movement known as Late Baroque, in an historical context which underlines the European affiliation of the style.
