Hi guys,
The baroque style emerged in Rome during the 17th century, rising from the growing confidence of Roman Catholic Church. Originally it was developed to appeal to the increasing number of new members within the congregation, and to lure others away from the most austere Protestantism. The style was adopted by many of the architects, sculptors, and painters of the period. Thank you.

Thanks for the post El conquistador, great history. No wonder the style was expressed so extravagantly in style. Do you prefer Carraviagio's take or the late Rococo?
