what are the characteristics of the baroque style of art
The Baroque (US: / bəˈroʊk / or UK: / bəˈrɒk /) is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theatre, and music. The style began around 1600 in Rome and Italy, and spread to most of Europe.
