Discover the dramatic world of Italian Baroque and the artists who turned painting, sculpture, and architecture into powerful experiences.
In this class, we will explore how Baroque art emerged in Italy in the 17th century and why artists began creating works filled with movement, emotion, theatrical light, and illusion.
