Baroque in Italy
(17th c.)

In the early 17th c. Baroque in Italy developed in two directions: Classical (Bologna and Rome with the Carracci brothers, G. Reni, Guercino etc.) and naturalistic - stemming from Caravaggio (Rome, Naples). In Rome the Carracci brothers renewed the technique of fresco painting, creating dynamic Baroque-Classical cycles, and at the same time in Rome, one of the great names in Classical art, the French painter Poussin was working.
