Mexican Baroque
Mexican Baroque is an artistic style that flourished in Mexico from the late 17th to the early 19th centuries. It is characterized by its elaborate ornamentation, dramatic contrasts, and a blend of European influences with indigenous elements. This style is evident in various forms of art, including architecture, painting, and sculpture, often featuring intricate details and vibrant colors.
One of the most notable examples of Mexican Baroque architecture is the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, which showcases the fusion of Spanish Baroque and local traditions. Artists like José de Ibarra and Juan Correa contributed significantly to this movement, creating works that reflect the cultural richness of colonial Mexico.
