La parola “barocco” probabilmente deriva dalla parola portoghese ” Barucca” , la “perla irregolare ” .
Il fondatore di questo stile, alla fine del XVI secolo, fu Caravaggio. Grazie al suo chiaroscuro in tutta Europa si sviluppa uno stile di pittura realistico, teatrale.
Le rappresentazioni laiche barocche, come la pittura di genere e i paesaggi, diventano più importanti di quelle a tematica religiosa. Stilisticamente si rifiuta il Rinascimento, la sua armonia proporzionale e il classicismo.
