Baroque paintings emerged across Europe in the 17th century, reflecting profound political and cultural changes. The Italian Baroque from 1590-1680 featured religious works and images that rose with Catholicism amid Protestant reforms. Key artists included Caravaggio's 1595 painting of Saint Francis in Ecstasy and Annibale Carracci's 1560-1609 Pieta. Baroque styles also developed in France, Spain, Flanders, and the Netherlands during this period.

In 1517, Martin Luther triggered the Protestant Reformation, casting European-wide doubt on the value of the Roman Church. This led to a worldwide propaganda campaign of?Catholic Counter-Reformation art, launched by Rome, in which renewed patronage of architecture and the visual arts was a key element. This stimulated the emergence of the late sixteenth century anti-Mannerist?Bolognese School, led by Annibale Carracci, and the seventeenth century?Baroque art?movement.
Baroque Paintings
?Baroque painting originated in Italy and spread north. One of its Italian
creators was Michelangelo da Caravaggio (1565-1609), whose bold and
light-bathed naturalism impressed many northern artists. The Italian influence
was evident in the works of Peter Paul Rubens (1557-1640), a well-known
Flemish artist who chose themes from pagan and Christian literature,
illustrating them with human figures involved in dramatic physical action.
Ruben also did portraits of Marie de Medicis and Queen Anne, at the French
court of Louis XIII. Another famous Baroque court painter was Diego Velasquez
(1599-1660), whose canvases depict the haughty formality and opulence of the
Spanish royal household. A number of Italian women were successful Baroque
painters, including Livonia Fontana (1552-1614), who produced pictures of
monumental buildings, and Artemesia Gentileschi (1593-1652), a follower of
Caravaggio.
