Baroque
description Baroque Overview
The Baroque movement, dominant in the 17th century, emphasized drama, grandeur, and intense emotion. Characterized by elaborate ornamentation, dynamic compositions, and a sense of movement, Baroque art aimed to overwhelm the viewer. Artists like Bernini and Caravaggio used dramatic lighting (tenebrism) and theatrical staging to convey religious fervor and power. It served as a powerful tool for the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation.
