Baroque painting

Baroque painting, which emerged in the late 16th century and flourished through the 17th century, is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, intense emotion, and dynamic compositions. Artists like Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Rubens created works that evoke movement and depth, often depicting religious themes, mythology, and everyday life. The Baroque style emphasizes realism and the human experience, with rich colors and intricate details. It aimed to engage viewers on an emotional level, making art feel alive and immersive, reflecting the complexities of the human condition and the grandeur of the spiritual world.
