Two big art periods are Baroque and the Renaissance. The Renaissance occurred in western Europe between the 15th and the 16th Century. Renaissance literally translates from french as "Rebirth. It was the rebirth of classical themes from the Greek and Romans. The act of drawing things in 3D on a 2D plane, known as Perspective, was invented during this time. Famous artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo Da Vinci were considered the "kings" of the Renaissance. Baroque was a period of movement and emotion during the 17th Century also in Western Europe. Baroque happened during the Counter-Reformation when the Catholic church wanted to bring people back from the Protestant churches. This period is known for its movement in paintings and sculpture. Famous artists like Diego Velazquez, Caravaggio and Bernini are known for their use of space. Differences: The Renaissance was a very religious time that occurred after Medieval times. It celebrated the catholic church and the common iconography associated with religion. God, Christ, Virgin Mary, Saints, Holy Spirit and Disciples were all used in many paintings. Whereas the Baroque period celebrated light, movement and the emotion that paintings and sculpture can cause. Baroque sculptures were more concerned with the space that involved the viewer and the "photograph" like action that would occur within the piece. Baroque stepped away from religion and was also concerned with everyday life. Caravaggio mainly focused on the "everyday". They also used very dark scenes with very little light.

Bernini used the pyramid configuration to create figures that had more stability and harmony.
Bel Composto was an artistic theory developed by Bernini during the Baroque. The theory involved unifying the arts of painting, sculpting, and architecture. One example of Bernini's use of Bel Composto is the Sant'Andrea al Quirinale, where Bernini embedded sculptures into the church's architecture.
What makes Gian Lorenzo Bernini so special is that he developed his own style of sculpting known as the Baroque style, which many artist are unable to do. Besides for sculpting, he was also a well known architect.
