Bavarian Baroque

Bavarian Baroque is an artistic and architectural style that flourished in southern Germany’s Bavaria region during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is characterized by ornate, dramatic designs with elaborate stucco decorations, bold curves, and vibrant colors, often seen in churches and palaces. This style aimed to evoke an emotional religious experience, blending artistry and spirituality. Notable examples include the Wieskirche and the Residenz in Munich, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and a sense of grandeur that reflects Bavaria's Catholic heritage and the Counter-Reformation period.
