    BAROQUE ART

    (1600-1800)
    -The term BAROQUE was derived
    from the Portuguese word barocco
    which means “irregularly shaped
    pearl or stone”.

    -baroque art reflects the tensions


    of the age notably the desire of the
    Catholic church in Rome to reassert
    itself in the wake of the Protestant
    Reformation
    Baroque was a period of artistic
    styles in exaggerated
    motion,drama,tension,and
    grandeur.
    Baroque painting illustrated key
    elements of Catholic dogma,either
    directly in Biblical works or
    indirectly in imaginary or symbolic
    work.
    The gestures are broader than
    Mannerist gestures; less
    ambiguous, less arcane and
    mysterious.
