What are the specific dates between the Baroque period through the postmodern period?
The Baroque period in Europe began around 1598 and lasted until 1702 and the emergence of Rococo. Baroque and Rococo style overlap a bit, and this time period also saw a rise in the sciences. Late in the eighteenth century Romanticism was on the rise, the lavish Rococo was out of style. There is some debate as to the dates of Romanticism, narrow dates are 1750-1850. A wider range sees Romanticism lasting into Modernism. Realism begins in 1845 and lasts until 1880. Impressionism runs from 1870-1890. Post-Impressionism lasts about ten years, 1880-1890. The nineteenth century has seen a pluralism of style in art with many movements like Art Nouveau (1880-1914) and Cubism (1908-1918) to name a few. Timelines are available at the link below.
