The art of the Baroque era, the main stylistic direction in the artistic culture of the 17th century, is extraordinarily interesting due to its multidimensionality, spectacularity, and emotional depth. This publication will discuss the history of the development of Baroque painting and the main differences of this style in various European countries — Italy, Flanders, Spain, Holland, France, as well as introduce the unique creativity of both the great masters of this lush, expressive style — outstanding painters Caravaggio, Rubens, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and also lesser-known to the general public, but no less bright, colorful masters — Van Dyck, Jordaens, Ribera, Zurbarán, Hals, and others. The album features over 25 artists in total. High-quality reproductions of paintings, many of which include large fragments, will help to form a comprehensive understanding of this vibrant, expressive style, and provide an opportunity to enjoy the magnificent masterpieces of Baroque painting. For a wide audience.
