What’s the difference between Renaissance and Baroque?
Renaissance art (think da Vinci, Michelangelo) is all about balance, harmony, and a return to the classical ideals of beauty and proportion. Baroque art, on the other hand, kicks up the drama! This style, popular in the 17th century, uses strong contrasts of light and shadow (known as chiaroscuro), along with motion and emotion, to create powerful, dynamic scenes. If Renaissance art is calm and composed, Baroque is bold and intense.
