'''Baroque''' was an seventeenth century art movement that originated 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 Baroque painters focused on representing scenes of heroes, mythology and [[Catholic]] themes.

Main Baroque painters were: [[Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio]], The [[Carracci]] Family (Agostino, Annibale and their cousin Ludovico), [[Peter Paul Rubens]], [[Rembrandt|Rembrandt van Rijn]], [[Jan Vermeer]], [[José de Ribera]], [[Francisco de Zurbarán]], [[Diego Velazquez|Diego Velázquez]], [[Bartolomé Esteban Murillo]], [[Josefa de Óbidos]] and [[Frans Hals]]. These painters used exaggerated motion, space, detail and chiaroscuro. This style shows also solidity and grandeur.

The Baroque period is also known for a great expansion in classical music. Baroque composers include [[George Frideric Handel]], [[Antonio Vivaldi]], and [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. The period is characterized by tiered [[dynamics]] and the introduction of the Italian form (for the [[concerto]]) and the [[Sonata]] form (as a widely adopted musical organizational structure).
