English Baroque is an artistic style that emerged in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is characterized by grandeur, drama, and a sense of movement in architecture, painting, and sculpture. This style often features elaborate ornamentation and a focus on light and shadow, reflecting the influence of the broader Baroque movement in Europe. Key figures of English Baroque include architects like Christopher Wren, known for his work on St. Paul's Cathedral, and painters such as Sir Peter Lely. The style is often associated with the reign of Charles II, who encouraged artistic expression and the integration of classical elements into English design.
