The Development of Painting In this paper I will be tracing the development of different painting styles and movements during different periods starting with the beautiful Baroque period all the way to Surrealism.
The Baroque art period began in Italy during the early 17th century and lasted in some parts of Europe for almost over a century. Baroque painting in general was a reflection of the profound political and cultural changes emerging across Europe, while promoting the Roman Catholic Church churches authority and power. Baroque artwork is an amazing style that combines beautiful detail, very dramatic composition, and gives viewers a very emotional and intense experience (”The Baroque Art Movement: Artists and Artwork of the 17th Century”).
