Are you familiar with it and does it appeal to you all the best, urban

Ah sorry, I meant Baroque in the metaphorical sense; arbitrarily filigree or complex all the best, urban

I don't know that I wouldn't rather use the word rococo for this - It's a moot point.

Do you mean food, music, art, travel or something else? Generally, being a culture-deprived Aussie, I'm not all that familiar with it, but might like it if I try it. I'd be interested to know what inspired you to start this discussion.

There are some elements of baroque art I like, especially fine arts, some decorations on furniture and ornaments. But I don't really like baroque art in painting. I hate those megalomanic, overly decorated portraits in those too chiselled big gold frames.

Rembrandt? Claude Lorrain (probably the late Sir Kyffin Williams's favourite artist)? Breugel?
