Baroque

Baroque Architecture (late 16th–18th century) is characterized by dramatic movement, complex spatial compositions, and theatrical use of light and shadow. Emerging in response to the restrained classicism of the Renaissance, it emphasizes grandeur, fluidity, and emotional intensity through undulating facades, intricate ornamentation, and dynamic interiors. Pioneered by architects like Francesco Borromini, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Guarino Guarini, Baroque architecture played a key role in expressing power, religious devotion, and artistic innovation across Europe and Latin America.
