The Art of the Day is: Baroque

Why didn't I think of this earlier?
Baroque Art is late renaissance art, with a highly developed sense of spacial depth and detail.
It is highly theatrical, and that's why it's a personal favorite. It also often tells a story.
The term baroque refers to a large natural asymmetrical pearl. We are all baroque in our own way.


Annibale Carracci,
Venus, Adonis and Cupid,
c.1590-1595,
Prado Museum, Madrid.
