marinism

Almost all the poets of the 17th century were more or less infected with Marinism.

His language was marked by the extravagant style of 16th-century Italian Marinism.

He is considered the founder of the school of Marinism, later called Secentismo, characterised by its use of extravagant and excessive conceits.

The taint of Gongorism and Marinism attacked all the Seiscentistas, as may be seen in the "Fenix Renascida", and rhetoric conquered style.

With his artificial manner, his abuse of metaphor, and his studied imagery he was a forerunner of those extravagant versifiers who, in the seventeenth century, developed the movement called Marinism or Secentismo.

Baroque actually expressed new values, which often are summarized in the use of metaphor and allegory, widely found in Baroque literature, and in the research for the "maraviglia" (wonder, astonishment - as in Marinism), the use of artifices.
