Paper Summary:

This paper explores the two major modes of Baroque art, which are allied respectively with the Catholic and Protestant churches. It defines the art of this period as having a general sense of vitality and an emphasis on creating the illusion of movement. The paper explores the Baroque painting, sculpture and architecture, including the works of Rembrandt, Velasquez and Bernini.

From the Paper:

"Unless we are scholars of art history we may have a somewhat distorted view of what constitutes Baroque art, for the term is often used in common parlance to mean any artistic or decorative object that is overly ornate and adorned with as many fripperies as it can hold. However, the term has actually a very precise definition, which this paper takes up as it explores the two major modes of Baroque art, which were allied respectively with the Catholic and Protestant churches."
