Baroque came to English from a French word meaning irregularly shaped.. At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.
The tense and extravagant Baroque movement defined the art of the 17th century. The Baroque Period was distinguished by exaggerated dynamism and clear detail that aimed to create drama and grandeur in sculpture, painting and architecture.hough technically a 16th century artist, the Italian Caravaggio significantly influenced Baroque art. His paintings were a clear departure from the art conventions of Mannerism â the dominant art form of the 16th century â with his dramatic use of light and shadow and his realistic depictions of objects and people.
