WHAT DOES BAROQUE MEAN? baroque comes from the Portuguese

noun, ”barroco”. Which means pearl. Also it is known to mean elaborate.

HOW DID IT ALL START? Baroque started due to 3 factors. The Council of Trent. This is a Catholic

movement that started in order to promote the Catholic religion over the Lutheran religion.

Also, artist wanted to break away from the traditional Renaissance ways.

Last is the Scientific discoveries and explorations led by Calpernicus.

THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION When the Protestant Reformation Started is

when the Council Of Trent took place. This is also know as the counter reformation. This is when Catholic Churches became more elaborate, more Baroque. When churches were grand and beautiful it pulled people into the Catholic faith.
