Counter-reformation art was meant to draw people back to Catholicism. They embodied the dramatic and whimsy, using extremely realistic details and also emphasized modesty. Some great examples of Counter-Reformation Art would be Gian Bernini's sculptures. They are so intricate and truly capture their goals, look up his sculptures "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa", "David", "Apollo", and "The Rape of Persephone", which is my favorite sculpture of his.

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.

There is no historical evidence to suggest that Gian Lorenzo Bernini was an Illuminatus or involved with any secret society. Bernini was a prominent Italian Baroque artist known for his sculptures, architecture, and contributions to the arts during the 17th century, particularly in Rome. The concept of the Illuminati as a secret society originated later, in the 18th century, and is not directly connected to Bernini's life or work.
