The Baroque style of art flourished between 1600-1800, particularly in Italy, Germany, South America, France and Flanders as a way for the Catholic Church to reinforce faith during the Counter-Reformation through dramatic and emotionally intense religious imagery using techniques like chiaroscuro, movement, and elaborate settings. Baroque art sought to draw viewers deeply into intense scenes of conversions, martyrdom, and mystical experiences through the use of light, shadow, overlapping figures and dramatic color contrasts. Elements of the ornate Baroque style can be seen in the architecture and art of countries across Europe, such as the ceiling paintings in Versailles.
