'''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]], [[Bartolome Murillo]], [[Josefa de Óbidos]] and [[Frans Hals]]. These painters used exaggerated motion, space, detail and chiaroscuro. This style shows also solidity and grandeur.
