the terms associated with this art, as well as works that demonstrate them. Discussion The Baroque period is generally thought of as "roughly coinciding with the 17th century," though it
occurred earlier in Italy and much later in Germany and South America, at times not until the 18th century (Pioch, 2002). The Baroque artists wanted to appeal to the senses
in order to evoke an emotional response from the viewer (Pioch, 2002). Some of the qualities of Baroque art are "grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and
a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts" (Pioch, 2002). In Italy, Rome was "baroques greatest center" (Sullivan, 2006). Annibale Carracci, his brother Agostino and Lucovico, their cousin, had
an "enormous impact on the art" in Rome (Sullivan, 2006). Among the commissions Annibale received was one to paint the ceiling of the Galleria of the Palazzo Farnese, which was
"his most significant work and a key monument in the development of the classical or ideal, baroque manner, of which Annibale was the chief initiator" (Sullivan, 2006). Among those who
began working in this style in Italy were "Guido Reni, Domenico Zampieri, called Domenichino, and Francesco Albani (1578-1660), who were trained by the Carracci at their workshop in Bologna," and
Nicholas Poussin and Claude Lorrain came from France; in addition, Caravaggio came to Rome (Sullivan, 2006). "Works such as the Calling and the Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (c. 1599-1600, San
Luigi dei Francesi, Rome) found sympathetic response, and Caravaggio came to be the guiding spirit behind an entire school of baroque naturalists" (Sullivan, 2006). In Spain, painters included Francesco Ribalta
and Francisco Pacheco; Madrid and Seville became the centers of Baroque art here (Sullivan, 2006). Caravaggios influence was felt in Spain, especially on Spains greatest Baroque painter, Diego de Vel?zquez.
