Four major characteristics of Bernini's sculpture that are typical of Baroque art in general.
Expansive and theatrical. The element of time usually plays an important role. Dynamic quality conveying a bursting forth of energy. Refusal to limit itself to firmly defined spatial settings.

While the circle had been the ideal geometric figure to Renaissance architects, Baroque planners preferred the oval.

They preferred the oval because the oval is a more dynamic form of the circle, creating an interior that appears to flow from entrance to altar, unimpeded by the segmentation characteristic of Renaissance buildings.

Characters from the Apocryphal Book of Techniques: Judith; Holofernes was an Assyrian general Artemesia uses tenebrism, spurting who was seduced bystrain Judith and blood, the physical of thethen beheaded by her. with the sword, and women struggling controlled highlights on the action in the foreground to portray the drama of the theme.
The artists most influenced the style of Artemesia Gentileschi was Caravaggio and her father, Orazio Gentileschi.
Judith Slaying Holofernes (Caravaggio). c. 1598-1599 Oil on canvas 1.44m by 1.92m Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Barberini, Rome.
One of Artemisia's best works, this scene is tense with imminent danger as Judith and Abra prepare to flee Holofernes's tent with his severed head. Dramatic and unusual chiaroscuro, especially the shadows Judith's hand casts on her face, together with vigilant expressions and posture, add urgency to the scene.
Artemisia chose another biblical theme picturing a woman slaying an aggressor. Sisera was a cruel Canaanite leader who ruled the Israelites for twenty years. Barak defeated his nine hundred charioteers by a surprise Israelite attack. Sisera escaped and sought refuge in the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite. She gave the terrified Canaanite sanctuary. When he fell asleep, she drove a tent peg into his brain. The act fulfilled the prediction of Debora, prophetess and Israelite leader, who foresaw that a woman would slay Sisera.
Three assumptions that were basic to the teaching of art at the Bolognese academy. Art can be taught. The teaching of art must include the classical and Renaissance traditions. The teaching must also include the study of anatomy and life drawing.
Annibale Carracci is credited with developing the "classical" Its roots were the landscape backgrounds of Venetian or Renaissance "ideal" landscape paintings.
Carracci achieved heightened illusionism as the chiaroscuro is not the same for both the paintings and the figures surrounding them. The painter modeled the figures inside the quadri in an even light. The outside figures seem to be lit from beneath, as if they were actual three-dimensional beings or statues illuminated from below.
