At first glance, the category of `sincerity` has little in common with 17th century culture. On the contrary, the desire to break with the aesthetic conventions and the artificiality of semiotic systems is regarded as a characteristic of the subsequent historical epoch - the Enlightenment - and its vehement efforts to set itself off from the Baroque.
