Early Baroque art appeared in Italy in the late 16th century. It was the popular style during the Counter-Reformation in the 17th century.Baroque painters, sculptors, and architects sought to portray emotion, variety, and movement in their works by appealing to the senses. Baroque Style was created by strong contrasts in value and bold ornamentation that added drama to the art. 
Rococo art is characterized by very ornate, fanciful themes and a light air which sets this work apart from earlier pieces produced in the Baroque period.
