The correct answer is B) French Baroque painting had a strong Italian Baroque impact, which is not seen so much in English painting. Description: “Baroque is a type of European art (architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, etc.) that intensified from the early 17th century to the 1740s.”
Long before moving on to what we now understand, ‘Baroque’ as a word was used ironically as it symbolized over-emphasis or lack of form. Baroque paintings are characterized by the obvious use of lighting impacts, extreme shadows and colors, and meaningful stories.
Due to the impact of its main patronage – Church and State, French Baroque painting displayed luxury, grandeur and power. Church and state had funds to commission any work they wanted, despite its size. Throughout the “baroque” era, the state was ruled by the king. He was seen as the link between the state and God.
All the masterpieces and architecture commissioned by him would show this sovereignty.
In England, Baroque architecture was, on the contrary, very conservative, rigorous and quite basic because it lacked the dynamism, liveliness and supremacy of French Baroque works. Cheers!
