Baroque
Baroque architecture is the building style of the Baroque era, begun in late 16th century Italy, that took
the Roman vocabulary of Renaissance architecture and used it in a new rhetorical and theatrical fashion, often to
express the triumph of the Catholic Church and the absolutist state. It was characterized by new explorations of form,
light and shadow and dramatic intensity.
The three principal architects of this period were the sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini and the
painter Pietro da Cortona and each evolved their own distinctively individual architectural expression.

between both Rococo and Baroque architecture, one of them being symmetry, since Rococo emphasised the
asymmetry of forms, whilst Baroque was the opposite
