Barqoue Architecture

Baroque architecture is characterized by ornate detail and emerged in the 17th-18th centuries after mannerism. It explored elements like form, light, shadow, and dramatic intensity. Baroque architecture was often used by the Catholic Church during this era to demonstrate its triumph. Some notable examples of Baroque architecture include St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City designed by Michelangelo and Della Porta, St. Paul's Cathedral in London designed by Christopher Wren, and the Wurzburg Residence in Germany designed by Balthasar Neumann.
