Church Lachapelle

The Baroque?
Baroque derived from a word signifying a large irregular pearl. It originally meant bizarre, odd.  At the beginning of XXth century the Art historians made of this word a general aesthetic concept used to define the brilliant style of decoration which developed in Europe from XVIIth to XVIIIth centuries.
