"Baroque"-from the Portuguese barroco "pearl of irregular form" was first used to describe art overladen with ornamentation. The style was full of vigor, strong emotions, symbolism, and subtleties. It was distorted or sometimes grotesque. The word was used to put down the art that was dominating the seventeenth century. Baroque artists used genre paintings, landscapes, and still lives. Baroque style architecture is associated with the grand and majestic royal courts of Europe.
