Introducción al arte barroco. El gran teatro del mundo

At the end of the 16th century, there was a radical transformation in the relationship of the human being with the universe that crystallized in the Baroque period and from Rome spread throughout Europe, America and the Far East until the 18th century. The impulse was given by the Catholic Church and the monarchy, which promoted a propagandist and persuasive art to express their prestige, symbolize their authority and subjugate the faithful and subjects. The arts achieved a full and unprecedented integration, and ideas, objects and artists traveled fluently, joining the diplomatic exchanges and the incipient and elitist tourism to favor the universality of the Baroque and the uniqueness of its local expressions, of a variety and wealth unknown.
