Briefly describe the background and concept of Baroque style

Background: Baroque art is a European art style in the 17th century. It first originated in Rome under the rule of the Pope in the 17th century. At that time, Italy was the center of European art. However, in the late Baroque period, the center of European art moved to France. It has no clear artistic style and can only be regarded as a hobby and fashion. In the 17th century, Europe expanded its power, plundered overseas colonies and accumulated great wealth. It advocated luxury and enjoyment in life. Therefore, it also required luxurious, lively and passionate sentiments in architecture, music and art.

Concept: Renaissance means balance, moderation, solemnity, reason and logic, while Baroque means movement, pursuit of novelty, passion for infinity, restlessness and contrast, and the bold fusion of various art forms. Baroque art was contrary to the calmness and restraint of Renaissance art, and was characterized by drama, luxury and exaggeration. Baroque art does not reject heretical sensual joy, but is also loyal to the Christian worldview, so it is also a "Christian Renaissance"

Characteristics: good use of momentum, emphasis on light, pursuit of drama, exaggeration, and perspective The effect is not to stick to the boundaries between different art forms, but to integrate architecture, painting, sculpture and other art forms into one.
