Baroque art and architecture style began in late 1600,
mostly in Italy and Rome, and then spread to other parts of Europe. This period
of art can be characterized by artistic style using exaggeration to portray
drama, tension, grandeur and so on.
Baroque art and architecture can also be associated with the
qualities of vitality, movement and sensuous richness. The term Baroque, which originated
from the word barocco, came to be used to describe styles that are irregular,
bizarre and out of ordinary.
Some of the arts and architecture during the Baroque period
include the “The Triumph of the Immaculate” by Paolo de Matteis, “The Church of
Sant'Andrea al Quirinale” designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and St. Nicholas Church
in Lesser Town in Prague that was founded in 1703 under the lead of Baroque
architect Christoph Dientzenhofer.
