Aurum Baroque

Permanent Collection

Aurum is devoted to the Baroque — the art movement that understood darkness as a subject in its own right. Works by the masters of chiaroscuro, mythological painting, and devotional portraiture, drawn from the 17th century tradition that remade Western painting.

The Chiaroscuro Hall

The defining Baroque technique — dramatic contrasts of illuminated and shadowed form — explored through religious scenes, portraits, and mythologies. Works where darkness is as active as light.

3 works

The Mythological Cabinet

Baroque mythological painting at its most theatrical — Jupiter descending in storms, gods feasting with mortal abandon, allegories of time and fate rendered at monumental scale.

3 works

Intimate Baroque

The quieter register of the Baroque — the vanitas still life, the civic portrait, the devotional panel. Works where the drama is interior and the scale is domestic.
