REF - Art During the Reformation (Lesson)

Art During the Reformation.

Art of this period is often extravagant and emotional, and used by the Catholic Church to inspire others to return to the church.

Baroque as defined by Larry Treadwell of thecaveonline.com:

Art style that is florid, more colorful, richer in texture and decoration, more light and shade-apparently less control. Scenes embody mystery and drama, violence and spectacle, suggesting a deliberate striving after effect; the Catholic church commissions artists to stir religious emotions and win back defectors. Values: sensualism, dynamism, emotion.
