No Expression Vs Outwardly Expressed When you hear the words Baroque and Neoclassical, what comes to mind? If you thought of the words flamboyant vs. simplicity, then you are well on your way to understanding the two styles of art that will be discussed in this paper. Baroque style was known for the realness and emotional ties that go with every painting or sculpture that is made with that style. Meanwhile, Neoclassical style is more on historical viewpoint with a decorative way. The painting, "La Grande Odalisque" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and the sculpture, "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa" by Gianlorenzo Bernini, both portray females in exotic poses. While both artworks feature women, each artist used very different methods to get their message across. They both use a light source, are differently made, and they both use women to display a role of power and elegance.

Ingres' painting is a great example of Neoclassical style because of the way Ingres uses the brush to create the painting and it took place in Roman
