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.
