Baroque Oil Painting: Dynamic and Gorgeous Visual Aesthetics
Baroque oil painting prevailed in Europe from the 17th to the early 18th century, forming a unique gorgeous and dynamic artistic style. Its core characteristics are bold composition, strong light and shadow contrast, rich colors and dynamic picture rhythm. Unlike the calm and rigorous Renaissance paintings, Baroque works pursue dramatic tension, often using diagonal composition and flowing lines to create a sense of movement. Painters are good at using strong light and shadow contrast to highlight the main body of the picture, creating a grand, gorgeous and passionate artistic atmosphere, which is widely used in religious paintings and palace decorative paintings.
