Why these artist were a good example of Baroque
style in my opinion.

• These two artists both exaggerated motion and
  clear, easily interpreted detail.
• They both produce drama, tension, exuberance,
  and grandeur from sculpture, painting,
  literature, and music.
• Their styles both started around 1600 in Rome,
  Italy and spread to most of Europe
• Their popularity and success of the Baroque was
  encouraged by the Catholic Church.
