Baroque Art

Baroque art is a visual style that emerged in Europe during the late 16th century and lasted until the early 18th century. It is characterized by grandiosity, drama, and ornamentation. Baroque art is famous for its use of strong emotions, vivid colors, and contrasting light and shadow. The style gained popularity due to its association with the Catholic Counter-Reformation and the ornate decoration of churches and palaces.
