    Hey Marguerite..
    The Baroque style emerged as a revolt against the rigid conventions of Italian Renaissance classicism. Instead of the straight lines of classicism, curved and broken lines appeared. Decoration became more important and elaborate, and spaces became more complex.
    The Catholic church used it to inspire its viewers, the style used elaborate effects to appeal directly to the emotions.
