Abstrakty
Interiors of baroque temples influence visitors in a particular, ambiguous way, bringing aesthetical sensations, but also cause philosophical and religious reflections. It is a result of shaping those spaces by the use of various and complicated architectonical methods, which were mastered in the time of the baroque. Light arrangement was one of the most important elements shaping sacral interiors. A baroque church became a connecting point of reality and supernatural. The difference between sacrum and profanum obliterates in its interior. The real space continued into "unearthly" one created by the methods of illusion. Real and introduced light connected together describe this penetration of two worlds, earth and heaven. Hidden sources of light cooperated in creation of illusion and real space, illuminate the assemble of prayers by the light coming from the firmament. Real light had to play the part of supernatural light. The knowledge of methods of shaping the space and arrangement of lighting in interiors in a significant way enriched the architect's possibilities. It allowed him to obtain defined aesthetical and program targets. The baroque period was the time when art rose to its highest limits. Therefore, it is important, while studying those historical times, to bring closer the defined means and techniques in view of their application nowadays.
