The Baroque period, which spanned from around 1650 to 1790, is a remarkable era in Catholic art history. In this beautiful 15-month calendar, we provide a sample of the artists and styles that exemplify the best of this period. The opulence of Baroque art conveys the awe-inspiring majesty of the Church Triumphant. Baroque artworks aimed to instill the faithful with the visual certitude of Christ’s eternal victory while simultaneously counteracting the Protestant revolution. This art reminds the world that Christ is God, that He founded the Catholic Church through His Apostles, and that the gates of hell would never prevail against it.
The images from this period are profoundly theological, emotionally moving, and remarkable in their beauty. Baroque artists masterfully utilized light, drama, and exaggerated motion to evoke a sense of dynamism and grandeur—all to the glory of God
