Baroque Architecture | Vibepedia

Baroque architecture is a highly decorative and theatrical style that emerged in Italy in the late 16th century, characterized by grandiose structures, intricate details, and dramatic lighting. It was popularized by the Catholic Church, particularly the Jesuits, as a means to inspire awe and reverence. The style reached its peak in the High Baroque period, spreading across Europe and beyond, influencing the work of renowned architects such as [[carlo-maderno|Carlo Maderno]] and [[francesco-borromini|Francesco Borromini]].
