These are stunning, dramatic, evocative and emotionally stirring artworks that lend modern Rome its unique persona. Hence, to truly grasp the culture of this historic city, one must take in its Baroque beauties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Baroque era, spanning roughly from 1600 to 1750, saw an upsurge in artistic activities, which in effect was a religious scheme to capture people\u2019s faith through persuasive and ornate art. It was designed to rouse all your senses!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Essence of Baroque Style:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baroque art was backed by the Roman Catholic Church. It was the church\u2019s visual weapon to maintain its superiority in the face of the rising Protestant movement. During that period, the battle to sway people\u2019s psyche was very fierce. These works being sensuous and overtly emotional, yet retaining a spiritual aura, were successful in influencing the faithful. Hence, Baroque art proved to be an effective strategy to win public confidence during the Counter Reformation period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bernini_apollo_daphne.jpg\" alt=\"Vatican city museum tour\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bernini_apollo_daphne.jpg 782w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bernini_apollo_daphne-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bernini_apollo_daphne-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Artists made ample use of drama and illusion to inspire piety, while keeping the works naturalistic to easily appeal to middle-class churchgoers. By means of imposing statures and extremely expressive styles, these artworks captured hearts of the Roman people. Baroque works evoked awe for the divine and directed thoughts towards heavenly affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Essential Elements:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baroque paintings used broad and velvety brush strokes, and richly pigmented colour schemes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baroque sculptures were created using plush resources, like marble, gold and bronze.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Baroque architecture, upward diagonals, flowing curves and swirling spirals were used to generate an illusion of motion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Techniques like \u2018\u2019tenebrism\u2019\u2019 (theatrical illumination) and \u2018\u2019chiaroscuro\u2019\u2019 (light-dark contrast) were incorporated to make art more realistic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Caravaggio-San_Gerolamo.jpg\" alt=\"vatican city tours\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Caravaggio-San_Gerolamo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Caravaggio-San_Gerolamo-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Caravaggio-San_Gerolamo-768x557.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Must-See Baroque Artworks in Rome<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Santa Maria della Vittoria<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Exploring Baroque artworks remains incomplete without witnessing the creations of Bernini, considered the father of Baroque architecture. The theatrical and emotionally persuasive features of Baroque are best expressed in Bernini\u2019s works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Residing within the modest church of Santa Maria della Vittoria is Bernini\u2019s masterwork \u2013 The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. This sculptural figure brilliantly expresses the ecstasy of nun Teresa when she\u2019s pierced by a divine arrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Trevi Fountain<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The most reputed fountain in Rome is a scenic wonder! This giant Baroque showpiece took more than 30 years to complete. Conceived by Nicola Salvi, the fountain is a captivating display of giant mythological figures, with water gushing through natural rock formations. Following Salvi\u2019s death, Giuseppe Pannini administered its completion in 1762. The construction of Trevi Fountain also revived the city\u2019s ancient aquaduct system, transporting fresh, usable water to its residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8.jpeg\" alt=\"vatican city tours\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8.jpeg 4239w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8-300x142.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8-768x362.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8-1024x483.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1YtP-LU8-1200x566.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your visit to the eternal city must be concluded with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/category\/private-tours-trevi-fountain\"><strong>tour of Trevi Fountain<\/strong><\/a>.
