Baroque

Explanation:

Baroque is a style of music, painting, architecture and other forms of art that was constructed from early 17th century to early 18th century (till 1740s). The baroque style achieved a sense of awe by the use of deep color, contrast, movement and excessive detailing. This style started from Rome and spread to other regions like France, Spain, Germany and Russia. The Baroque style then evolved into a more sophisticated style called Rococo, beginning from the 1930s.
