Question

Choose a Baroque artist and three of their works. Discuss the artist's style as seen in all three works. How do these characteristics exemplify Baroque style?

Answer 1

Annibale Carracci. Italian painter who was influential in recovering the classicizing tradition of the High Renaissance from the affectations of Mannerism.some of his finest religious paintings, notably Domine, Quo Vadis? (1601–02) and the Pietà (c. 1607). These works feature weighty, powerful figures in dramatically simple compositions. The lunette-shaped landscapes that Annibale painted for the Palazzo Aldobrandini, especially the Flight into Egypt and the Entombment (both c. 1604), proved important in the subsequent evolution of the heroic landscape as painted in Rome by Domenichino and Nicolas Poussin.
