Baroque European Art
Baroque European Art refers to the art movement that emerged in Europe in the late 16th century and lasted until the early 18th century. Characterized by dramatic compositions, intense emotion, and ornate details, Baroque art reflects the cultural and religious tensions of the time. Artists of this period often depicted religious scenes, mythological figures, and powerful rulers in a dynamic and theatrical style. The use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, was a common technique in Baroque art, enhancing the sense of drama and depth in the paintings. Influential Baroque artists include Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
