Barroque was an XVII century movement emerged in Italy. The Baroque was stylistically complex, even contradictory. At this era Caravaggio’s dramatic intensity was appreciated, but his realism was seen by some as unacceptably vulgar. The Barroque painters focused on representing scenes of heroes, mythology and Catholic themes. Portraiture was also an important subject among Barroque painters.
Main Barroque painters were: Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Carracci Family (Agostino, Annibale and their cousin Ludovico), Peter Paul Rubens, José de Ribera, Francisco de Zurbaran, Diego Velázquez, Bartolome Murillo, Josefa de Óbidos and Frans Hals. These painters used exaggerated motion, space, detail and chiaroscuro. This style shows also solidity and grandeur.
