Why This Battle Matters

Picture the grandeur of the Parthenon’s Doric columns, facing off against the sweeping curves of St. Peter’s Basilica’s dome. This isn't just a battle; it's a clash of philosophies. In the left corner, Classical (Greek & Roman) architecture champions harmony and proportion, principles that laid the foundation of Western art. In the right, Baroque counters with dynamic complexity and theatrical exuberance that speak to the emotions as much as the eyes. What's at stake? More than bragging rights—it's about which vision of beauty resonates more deeply across the ages. Whose side are you on—the measured classicists or the passionate baroquists?
