An artistic style that dominated Western Europe from the late 16th century to the mid-18th century. It found expression in the creation of gardens and parks in France, Italy and other countries, including Russia. Characteristic features include decorative splendor, plasticity, and sometimes ostentation of composition, and a tendency to give natural materials (vegetation, water, terrain) architectural forms (bosquets, fountains, terraces, retaining walls, etc.). Baroque compositions have been partially preserved in the Summer Garden, in Pushkin, Peterhof and others.
