When Martin Luther published his 95 theses in 1517, it was not only a challenge to the perceived corruption of the Catholic Church, it was an act which prompted the transformation of the religious, socio-political, and artistic landscape of Europe.
One of the most dynamic styles to emerge in the wake of the Counter-Reformation, the Baroque lasted a century and manifested differently in Italy, Spain, and France, where it produced the most extraordinary artists and architects including Caravaggio, Bernini, Velasquez, Poussin, and Borromini.
Ecstacy and Sensuality
Here you will examine how The Counter-Reformation outlawed gratuitous nudity in church art yet artists succeeded in imbuing clothed figures with a new sensuality as seen in Bernini’s Ecstasy of St. Teresa for the Cornaro Chapel in Rome and Ribalta’s ‘St. Bernard’s Vision of the Crucified Christ.’
