Art became popular with the influence of religion. Many art forms and techniques were introduced to primarily spread religion and regain faith . Baroque art flourished in 17th century Europe as a reaction to the reducing glory of religion among people. It was used as an instrument for bringing back the piety and awe for the church. It aimed to bring art closer to people through its subjects and techniques. Baroque art is known for its grandeur and opulence which is evident in its intricate details, vibrant colours and luminous clarity of work. The allegorical depictions are both real and dramatic. The art works have sensual richness, intense emotion and movement. This dramatic realism uses light and dark at its convenience. There is evident blurring of boundaries between the subjects.Â
