Baroque

Considering the fact that Baroque is an era with a range of 200 years (1575 to 1770), it´s quite diverse, no matter if you concentrate on politics, architecture and other arts, or clothing.
However, I don´t have enough rubber stamps with baroque elements (only some patterns and architecture), so I had to go with digitals for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge.
I wanted to include the baroque emphasis on pomp and ornaments, and also colours. As in Germany there was a lot of important literature in the baroque era, I used some typography for the background. And as still life is one of the most interesting genres especially in Dutch baroque paintings, I´ve chosen the grapes to represent this aspect.
I´ve mixed images from several Itkupilli and Foxeysquirrel kits for my digital postcard, and layered them with a sprayed background and a map (that stands for the Thirty-Years War happening all over Europe) from my own stash - hope you like it.
