Baroque Art & Architecture

Discover the captivating world of Baroque art and architecture (1600-1750), characterized by its dramatic, emotional intensity and striking use of color. Originating from the Portuguese word "barocca," meaning "a pearl of irregular shape," Baroque art fully embraced strangeness and extravagance. This movement responded to the Counter-Reformation, employing powerful visual narratives to communicate with the illiterate masses and evoke strong emotions. From the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica to the poignant works of Caravaggio and Rubens, Baroque art remains a testament to its era's passion and creativity.
