Discussion Questions
Is Bernini’s sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa more theatrical or religious? How is it characteristic of the Baroque style?
What are the main ways architecture changed during the Baroque period?
How do Baroque painters in both Italy and Spain use darkness, tenebrism, to achieve their artistic goals? Why do you think tenebrism emerged as an important technique at this time?
