The baroque period spanned the whole of Europe from 1600 to 1780.
Beginning with Italian artists who brought drama to painting
through dynamic compositions and pronounced contrasts between light
and dark, the baroque was later exported by countless artists to
their own countries, where the new style developed in different
ways. With its monumental historical paintings and magnificent
portraits, catering to sovereign desires for splendor and
demonstrations of both secular and religious power, the baroque
rose to become the style of European court art. The latest phase of
the baroque, known as rococo, began in about 1720 and was
characterized by an increased sense of playfulness and intimacy.
With more than 450 works, Baroque 1600-1780 presents an overview of
the most important paintings of the period.
