Answer Culture varied very greatly across the seventeenth century. Architecture, music and art began the transition from Renaissance to Baroque styles. Architecture became more natural-looking and curvaceous, often inspired by leaves, shells etc., sometimes with geometric shapes to provide the overall structure. The modal system began to fall out of use in music, and, by the end of the century, major and minor chords and scales began to take off, even if they only reached their full potential in the Classical period. The makings of the modern orchestra began to form. Art appeared more realistic, with sculpture and paintings often reflecting Classical forms.
Theatre, however, was possibly the most widely enjoyed of the arts, open to both rich and poor alike. William Shakespeare wrote some of the world's best plays at the start of the century.
America, at this point still mostly controlled by natives, had not yet diverged into its own styles of architecture etc., but adopted the classical forms of Palladianism as its 'official' architecture (eg. the White House, Washington Memorial etc.) in the 1700s.
Overall, the 1600s can be seen as a time of transition in the arts, opening new doors in almost every field, paving the way for Classicism to take over in the next century.
