Extended information:

Baroque art was born in Rome, Italy. It is distinguished from the solemnity and elegance of Renaissance art in the heyday of 16th century by its enthusiasm, unrestrained, strong movement and gorgeous decoration. Baroque art developed the tradition of realism to some extent after the Renaissance art, thus overcoming the negative tendency of style doctrine which was popular in the late 16th century.

On the other hand, Baroque art met the needs of the Catholic Church to win believers by using propaganda tools at that time, and also adapted to the hobbies of court nobles in various countries. It was popular all over Europe in the 17th century and influenced other art schools. Therefore, in 17th century Europe, it is a fact that every artist must go to Rome. Most important artists have been informed by the government that institutions such as the French Academy of Fine Arts have been sent to Rome.
