Ligurian Baroque

Ligurian Baroque is an artistic and architectural style from the Liguria region of Italy during the 17th and early 18th centuries. It is characterized by dynamic movement, dramatic use of light and shadow, rich ornamentation, and emotional intensity. This style reflects the Catholic Church’s desire to inspire faith through visually powerful and elaborate designs, often seen in churches, sculptures, and paintings. Influenced by broader Baroque trends, Ligurian Baroque incorporates local elements that emphasize ornate detail and a sense of grandeur, creating a vibrant and expressive aesthetic that connects spirituality with artistic innovation.
