The correct answer is A. teach the Bible on an emotional level to lower-class people.
Baroque artwork was dramatic and the goal of the movement for the Catholic Church was to create a sense of awe while teaching the Catholic faith. At the time, Protestantism had spread and in order to demonstrate the power and glory of the Catholic Church, the papacy used baroque artwork to teach the stories of the bible and even demonstrate the tortures of hell. Many people couldn’t read and despite the bible began to be translated and became more available, Catholics believed the word of God came from the Church. Therefore, the imagery helped to explain the stories of the faith without followers needing the ability to read.
