It describes a fairly complex idiom and focuses on painting, sculpture, as well as architecture.

It reflects the tensions of the age notably the desire of the Catholic church in Rome to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant Reformation which is almost the same with Catholic-Reformation Art of the period

It was a period of artistic styles in exaggerated motion, drama, tension, and grandeur. The style started in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.

The Roman Catholic Church highly encouraged the Baroque style to propagate Christianity while the aristocracy used Baroque style for architecture and arts to impress visitors, express triumph, power, and control.

Baroque sculpture, typically larger than life size, is marked by a similar sense of dynamic movement, along with an active use of space.

Baroque architecture was designed to create spectacle and illusion. Thus the straight lines of the Renaissance were replaced with flowing curves.
