I. THE SPANISH BAROQUE (El Siglo de Oro).
The seventeenth-century Spain is both religious and attached to his land. Result of this attachment on one side of the "genre" that highlight the condition rather popular (when it does not paint Court) and, on the other hand, mysticism, burning like the sun cooked skin of these men and women that genre have revealed to work mysticism worn by emaciated ascetics Zurbaran and Ribera.
Some big names:
1. Diego Velazquez (1599 - 1660)
2. Jusepe Ribera (1591 - 1652)
3. Francisco Zurbaran (1598 - 1664)
4. Murillo (1618 - 1682)
Baroque does not stop with the century. He is being followed in the painting of "grand style" in XVIII and its evolution in the Rococo. Already, since the sixteenth century, one theme keeps grow: the female nude . In the Rococo, the reference to history (specifically mythological) become a pretext for an erotic painting. This is already underway since the Venus of Urbino by Titian .
If it is a baroque, it's Italy. Large turbulent compositions, where the expression of tormented passions of all kinds has free rein.
Some big names:
1. Guercino (called Guercino) 1591 -1666
2. Orazio Gentileschi (1563 - 1639)
3. Pietro da Cortona (1596 - 1669)
4. Luca Giordano (1634 - 1705)
5. Bernini (1598 - 1680)
With Rubens (1577-1640), Flanders entering walk-in Baroque and reach the summit. Jordaens (1593-1678) is probably another big name to be attached to this period and the "current".
In France more than elsewhere that alongside the baroque itself (well represented by Le Brun, director of the Academy yet that develops and promotes the rules of classicism), which develops a classical Poussin is the undisputed master.
Some big names:
1. Simon Vouet (1590 - 1649)
2. Georges de la Tour (1593 - 1652)
3. Nicolas Poussin (1594 - 1665)
4. Claude Le Lorrain Gellée (1600 - 1682)
5. Charles Le Brun (1619 - 1690)
6. Philippe de Champaigne (1602 - 1674)
7. Louis Le Nain (1593 - 1648)

3. Francois Lemoyne (1688 - 1737)
4. Pierre Puget (1620 - 1694)
V. GERMANY AND AUSTRIA BAROQUE
Clearly, the inspiration is Italian (Venetian, even) and Flemish (Rubens), particularly in Liss (1595-1629) and also in Loth (1632-1698).
