Bohemian Baroque

Bohemian Baroque refers to a style of art and architecture that developed in the 17th and early 18th centuries in the historical region of Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. It is characterized by grand designs, elaborate decorations, and a blend of local traditions with the larger European Baroque movement. Influenced by the Catholic Counter-Reformation, it aimed to inspire awe and devotion through its dramatic use of light, color, and intricate details. Notable examples include the ornate interiors of churches, palaces, and palatial buildings, which reflect a rich cultural and historical significance in the region.
