Collection: Baroque

The Baroque period, spanning the 17th century, was an age of dramatic expression, grandeur, and emotional intensity in art, architecture, and music. Emerging in Italy and spreading across Europe, Baroque art used bold contrasts of light and shadow, dynamic movement, and rich detail to inspire awe and devotion. This style was often linked to the power of the Church and monarchies, designed to impress and move viewers. Artists like Caravaggio, Rubens, and Bernini created masterpieces that combined realism with theatrical splendor. The Baroque period left a lasting legacy of works that continue to captivate with their energy and opulence.
