Baroque art came out of rebellion against the Protestant church funded by the Roman Catholics. At the time, the church controlled much of the content of art. In Catholic art, you had to depict religious aspects and make the art very moving in a religious way. Much Catholic art at this time was made in the way of paintings. The Catholic church wanted to make architecture and sculptures in grand scale and have it seen by many people. They wanted to attract more people to the Catholic religion. The Baroque style could be made in many mediums such as sculpture or architecture. Many baroque style sculptures would line the streets of cities that depicted religious ecstasies and conversions.
The baroque art period was the time of the Scientific Revolution and Age of Absolutism. Among the general characteristics of baroque art are a sense of movement, energy, and tension (whether real or implied).

Baroque art has more emotion and is very dramatic. There is a lot of movement and energy, unlike mannerism/Renaissance art which is controlled and idealistic. While both are very decorative, baroque art is much more realistic that mannerism. Another characteristic of baroque art is there is a lot of symmetry and 3D shapes. Extremes of light are used.
