The term "Barok" refers to a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in Europe during the late 16th century and continued into the 18th century. It is characterized by dramatic expressions, intricate details, and a sense of grandeur in various forms of art, including architecture, painting, and music. Notable examples of Barok architecture include the Palace of Versailles and St. Peter's Basilica. In painting, artists like Caravaggio and Peter Paul Rubens exemplified the Barok style through their use of bold colors and dynamic compositions. In music, composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel contributed to the Barok era with complex compositions that emphasized emotional depth and ornamentation.
