Baroque Art I: Characteristics of Art and Architecture

Question 8 • SNHS Art History I - EL4002

How is Baroque sculpture different from classical sculpture?

Answer

Answer:

Answers may vary. Baroque art is often described as exuberant, extravagant, and dramatic when compared to the more intellectual and restrained works of the previous periods. In baroque art, the viewer is invited to be a participant in the work - much like someone who is watching a film or a play is invited to participate in the story.
