watercolour from Sicily
I have never been a Baroque fan. Because of kitsch, because of too many sweet fatty angels with naked asses, because it used to be too religious-propagandist, because people responsible for the baroquiization of Gothic churches should be fried in hell ... such "becauses" I could still find more and more.
However, Noto cures of Baroquephobia. As a result of the earthquake, Noto was created from scratch. That’s why it became coherent, harmonious and simply ... beautiful. It is rich in detail, but it is not overloaded. It is not big, but it is spatial. It is monumental but not overwhelming. Aurea mediocritas is able to help even Baroque art.
