The dramatic lighting, movement, and grandeur of Baroque artworks might remind
contemporary viewers of current trends in photography, like the use of high contrast
filters and striking subject matter. The majority of Baroque paintings and sculpture were
produced during the 17th century, beginning in Rome as part of the Catholic Counter-
Reformation that spread across Europe. This list of 12 Baroque artworks provides an
introduction to some of the most important works made throughout the period.

artist Eugène Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution

reviews, but it became one of Delacroix’s most popular paintings, an
emblem of the July Revolution and of justified revolt.
