Explain the use of art as an embodiment of counter reformation goals during the Baroque Age?

What is baroque art?
The Baroque comes after the renaissance, i.e. late 16th century and most of the17th century.The Baroque movement encompasses architecture, religious paintings, and sculpture. Painters used rich colors and chiaroscuro (credited to Caravaggio) in their works. The figures in the paintings were naturalistic and frequently sported exaggerated gestures. The style was very emotional, and the scenes selected for the work were usually important and dramatic biblical scenes. The use of light was important in the artwork; it enhanced the experience of the scene.The most famous sculptor to come out of the Baroque period is without a doubt Bernini. His sculptures were extremely detailed. Bernini is arguably one of the most talented sculptors of all time because of the way he could manipulate the different textures of his subject in marble. He used large gestures that broke the plane of the sculpture to suggest drama and emotion. One of his most famous works is The Ecstasy of St. Theresa.One fundamental change that the Baroque style brought along in architecture was the use of the oval. Famously, St. Peter's Square, is memorable for its long oval shape. Baroque design also emphasized the use of light.
