Notion of love in the baroque must be extended to the notion of the renaissance. Love normally expressed by male poet and is extended to the physical experience of love. The woman is not identified as a single person but often takes an archaic name which is just as symbolic to represent their beauty and youth. Nightingale & lute player play: expressed by 2 elements that are disputing: nightingale: nature, lute: man.
