The Baroque (UK: /bəˈrɒk/, US: /bəˈroʊk/) is a highly ornate and

often
extravagant style of architecture, music, painting, sculpture and
other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th until the
mid-18th century. It followed the Renaissance style and
preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late
Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by
the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and
austerity of Protestantarchitecture, art and music,
though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as
well.[1] The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant
detail, deep colour, grandeur and surprise to achieve a sense of
awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome,
then spread rapidly to France, northern Italy, Spain and
Portugal, then to Austria and southern Germany. By the 1730s,
it had evolved into an even more flamboyant style,
called rocaille or Rococo, which appeared in France and central
Europe until the mid to late 18th century.
