Your art teacher wants you to research an artist who strongly contributed to the Baroque movement from outside of Italy. Who would be the BEST artist to research?

Question

Caravaggio

Sir Peter Paul Rubens

Gianlorenzo Bernini

Jacques-Louis David

Answer 1

Sir Peter Paul Rubens would be the BEST artist to research for this task. While Caravaggio and Bernini were extremely important Baroque artists, they both worked primarily in Italy. Jacques-Louis David was a Neoclassical painter who worked after the Baroque period. Rubens, on the other hand, was a Flemish painter who was one of the most important artists of the Baroque movement outside of Italy. He was known for his dynamic, dramatic paintings that often featured mythological and religious themes.
