ºBaroque Art, with its dramatic expression, intricate details, and emotional intensity, emerged in the late 16th century and flourished in the 17th century.
ºIts characteristics often reflected the Counter-Reformation’s emphasis on emotion and the Church’s power. The style spread from Europe to the Americas, adapting to local cultures and materials, thus giving rise to the American Baroque.
ºMudejar Art, on the other hand, is a unique style that emerged in Spain from the 12th to the 17th century, characterized by the blending of Christian and Islamic artistic traditions.
