Baroque Art (1600-1800)
The term Baroque was derived from the Portuguese word “barocco” which means “irregularly shaped pearl or stone.” It describes a fairly complex idiom and focuses on painting, sculpture, as well as architecture.
Although always in conflict with the simple, clear, and geometric concepts of classicism, the Baroque existed in varying degrees of 26, from a simple animated movement of lines and surfaces, to a rich and dynamic wealth.
Baroque architecture was designed to create spectacle and illusion. Thus, the straight lines of the Renaissance were replaced with flowing curves.
Baroque was a period of artistic styles in exaggerated motion, drama, tension, and grandeur. The style started in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.

He was better known as Caravaggio. He was an Italian artist who wanted to deviate from the classical masters of the Renaissance.He was an outcast in his society, because of his own actions and the lack of modesty and reverence for religious subjects in his own paintings.

He followed no particular faith, but was interested in spiritual values and often chooses religious subjects. No artist has painted himself as often as did Rembrandt. His concept of himself continued to deepen in grasp and subtlety, while his technique grew more daring. His well- known work was his “Self-portrait in Old Age”.

Diego Velasquez (1599- 1660)
Velasquez of Spain developed out of the Baroque. He was one of the finest masters of composition and one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. Velasquez was the case of a painter who discovered his avocation almost at the very start of his career. The passion for still life frequently emerges in Velasquez’s art. His famous works were: The Surrender of Breda, Las Meninas (The maids of honour), Los Barachos (The Drinker), and Maria Theresa
