Power of Church and Monarchies restoredExcess ornamentation valuedRome became an artistic centerArt filled with emotion/dramaRealism instead of idealismChiaroscuro – play of light and dark and shadows

– helps set a dramatic mood – Kept from Renaissance and used to create intense drama

Baroque Period Basics

Italian Moved to Rome Focused on painting portraits, still lives, historical and religious topics Condemned for several reasons:

Personal life – violent, aggressive and confrontational - killed an individual in Rome – moved to Naples – injured a knight – moved to Sicily and waited – moved back to Naples – pardoned in Rome and moved back

Works were not modest/very violent – excessive/unnecessary nudity Works lacked theological correctness – especially in the Death of

the Virgin – The church loved his skill and he was the primary painter for the church– eventually excommunicated due to conflicts with the church – “The Antichrist of Painting”

harsh stories)1650s his style changed again

Richer colors Stronger brushstrokes moved him further from fine detail Biblical themes focused on portrait-like figures

Last years he focused on self portraits that showed his grief and sorrow that he had suffered (many consider these to be his finest paintings)
