Baroque is a unique period for emergence of creative novelties in artistic ideas and technique improvement. Baroque art shows the influence of pre-Baroque period's humanism perspective, and it exerted an extraordinary influence on art following it. In the following, computational intelligence and deep learning are applied to elucidate the relationships among painting in the three periods.
