The grand ornate style that dominated European art during the 1600s and early 1700s is known as Baroque. Characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, rich colors, and dynamic compositions, Baroque art aimed to evoke emotion and grandeur. It often featured elaborate details and a sense of movement, reflecting the cultural and religious tensions of the time. Prominent artists associated with this style include Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

In the 1600s, the Baroque style of art emerged, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, intense emotional expression, and a sense of movement. This style developed in response to the Counter-Reformation, as the Catholic Church sought to inspire awe and convey religious themes more powerfully to attract believers. Artists like Caravaggio and Bernini embraced these techniques to create works that engaged viewers on a visceral level, reflecting the tumultuous social and political climate of the time.
Romanticism and modernism are firmly opposed to reason and logic, values that governed society in the 1600s and early 1700s. However, romanticists focus on the natural world, and modernists focus on ways machinery, weapons and technology affect society, often to its detriment.
During the early Renaissance Period (such as the mid-to-late 1400s) Spain was still involved in unification wars and the expulsion of Muslim Rulers. As a result, Spain was in no position to take the enlightened view of the Arts and Humanism that was prevailing in Northern Italy at the time. Spain also remained much more religious for a longer period of time because of the religious fervor required to embolden Christians on a holy war to "liberate" Spain from the "heathen" Muslims. In the later Renaissance (such as the mid-to-late 1500s), Spain was distinguished from other countries by its extreme relative wealth due to its expansive colonization of the Americas. This wealth would be completely consumed and abused in the 1600s because of the Wars of Religion (like the Eighty Years War and the Thirty Years War).
