Baroque Style of Art & Architecture► Dramatic, emotional.

► Colors were brighter than bright; darks were darker than dark.► Counter-Reformation art.► Paintings & sculptures in church contexts should speak to the illiterate rather than to the well-informed.► Ecclesiastical art --> appeal to emotions.► Holland --> Real people portrayed as the primary subjects.
