Baroque Art: Exaggerated And Artistic




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.
