Czech Baroque refers to the artistic style that flourished in the Czech lands during the 17th and 18th centuries. This period was characterized by dramatic expressions, elaborate decorations, and a strong emphasis on emotion and movement in art and architecture. Notable examples include the stunning St. Nicholas Church in Prague and the intricate frescoes by artists like Karel Škréta. The style was influenced by the broader European Baroque movement, which sought to evoke awe and grandeur. In addition to architecture and painting, Czech Baroque also encompassed sculpture and music, with composers like Jan Dismas Zelenka contributing to the rich cultural landscape of the time.
