Period
Baroque
1600–1749
An age of drama, light, and movement. Strong contrasts of light and shadow and dynamic compositions were meant to stir the viewer’s emotions — Caravaggio’s theatrical lighting, Rubens’s abundant canvases, Rembrandt’s profound darkness. Art here gave splendid form to the grandeur of church and crown.
