It comes as no surprise that the Baroque movement started in Italy, where the Renaissance began as well, or that it reached its climax in the peninsula. Caravaggio and Carracci were the top exponents of this movement and for more than a century the Italian Baroque Art grew at an accelerated pace.
Both Caravaggio and Carracci lived short lives but over the course of four decades, they created masterpieces that passed the test of time.
The two leading figures of the movement changed the public perception and provided others with the impetus to build on the gains of the Renaissance.
There is no shortage of Italian Baroque paintings authored by them, but prospective buyers will also get to choose between artworks created by other influential painters. Italian Baroque Art ended in the last decades of the 18th century, but the best creations can still amaze and charm art lovers, hundreds of years apart.
