Baroque

A theatrical explosion of movement and emotion. Baroque art bends light and space to divine will, where swirling drapery and ecstatic gestures pull viewers into celestial dramas.

    Immaculate Conception (1632)

    Francisco de Zurbarán (Spanish, 1598–1664)

    A young woman in blue and white robes stands bathed in golden light, her hands clasped in prayer. A crescent moon glows beneath her feet as cherubs swirl in the clouds above. The scene hums with quiet reverence, every fold of fabric and beam of light pulling the eye toward her serene face.
