Baroque art is characterized by rich
color, Christian themes, intense
shadowing, and highly dramatic
scenes that are heavily
foreshortened
In France during the late 1750's,
the “Late Baroque” period, or
Rococo emerged. Rococo art
was much different than Baroque
art, as many Baroque artists gave
up their symmetry for the ornate
and playful style of Rococo.
Rococo art was often used by
nobles for displaying their
wealth.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was an
Italian painter active in Rome, Naples,
Malta, and Sicily between 1592 and
1610. His paintings, which combine a
realistic observation of the human state,
both physical and emotional, with a
dramatic use of lighting, had a
formative influence on Baroque painting.
Supper at Emmaus, 1601.
The Entombment of Christ,
(1602–1603)
Caravaggio "put the oscuro (shadows)
into chiaroscuro."[48] Chiaroscuro was practiced
long before he came on the scene, but it was
Caravaggio who made the technique a dominant
stylistic element, darkening the shadows and
transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light.

The Rape of the Sabine Women is an episode in the legendary history of Rome, traditionally dated to 750 BC, in which the first generation of Roman men acquired wives for themselves from the neighboring Sabine families. The English word rape is a conventional translation of the Latin raptio, which in this context means "abduction" it provided a subject for Renaissance and post-Renaissance works of art that combined a suitably inspiring example of the hardihood and courage of ancient Romans with the opportunity to depict multiple figures, including heroically semi-nude figures, in intensely passionate struggle
Nicolas Poussin
Velasquez
Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch
painter and etcher. He is generally
considered one of the greatest
painters and printmakers in European
art and the most important in Dutch
history. His contributions to art came in
a period of great wealth and cultural
achievement that historians call the
Dutch Golden Age when Dutch
Golden Age painting, although in
many ways antithetical to the Baroque
style that dominated Europe, was
extremely prolific and innovative, and
gave rise to important new genres in
painting.
