Baroque

** The Baroque Era happened around the 1600's (17th century) in Europe. It was a reaction against Mannerism which was a very complex art. Baroque art however, was less complex, more realistic, and h **** ad greater naturalism and emotionalism than Mannerism. The Catholic Church also encouraged this type of art. **
