An artist from the northern Italian city of Bologna was Annibale Carracci (1560-1609), who specialized in the Baroque style.  The Baroque style was part of the Counter-Reformation by the Catholic Church to appeal spiritually to the audience, and to make inroads into Protestant regions after the Reformation (discussed below).  The primary Baroque artists were Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Peter Paul Rubens.  This style used the “revolutionary technique of dramatic, selective illumination of figures out of deep shadow - a hallmark of Baroque painting. Contrary to the traditional idealized interpretation of religious subjects, Baroque realistically presents models from the streets.”<ref>http://www.huntfor.com/arthistory/c17th-mid19th/baroque.htm</ref>  Carracci used the technique of shadows and emotion to display the surprise reaction of the holy women who visited the empty tomb of Jesus on Easter Sunday.
