REFLECTIONS ON THE ARISE OF BAROQUE ART IN ITALY AND ITS EXPANSION THROUGH THE REGIONS OF ANTWERP AND NETHERLANDS

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the emergence of Baroque Art in Italy and its expansion through the regions of Antwerp and Holland, in the start of the 17th century. The theme is important because it occupies a relevant space in the world culture and can awaken a critical and aesthetic look of Baroque Art, such as in painting, sculpture, architecture, among others, contributing to expand the knowledge of the world, provoking the research spirit that exists in every human being. Some authors were theoretical contributions, such as: Ernst Gombrich (2018); H.W. Jason (2001); Graça Proença (2007); Myriam Oliveira (2014), among others. In this sense, this article aims to sharpen the investigative spirit of the observer of Baroque Art.
