In Baroque painting, spirituality permeated nonreligious subject matter through the use of dramatic light, intense emotion, and dynamic compositions that evoked a sense of the divine or transcendental. Artists like Caravaggio and Rembrandt infused their works with moral and psychological depth, inviting viewers to contemplate deeper existential themes. This approach allowed secular subjects, such as portraits and still lifes, to resonate with spiritual significance, reflecting the era's fascination with the human experience and the search for meaning beyond traditional religious contexts. Ultimately, the blending of the sacred and the secular enriched Baroque art, making it a profound exploration of the human condition.
Then subject of the art changed during the enlightenment period, but the style, accentuating lighting and shadows, was still in the baroque style.
Robert E. Weber is a prolific author who has written a variety of books on various subjects, including leadership and spirituality. Some of his notable works include "The Spirituality of Sex," "The Spirituality of Work," "The Spirituality of Money," and "The Spirituality of Pets."
Some examples of old painting styles include Renaissance, Baroque, and Impressionism. These styles differ from modern techniques in terms of subject matter, use of light and color, and brushwork. Old painting styles often focused on religious or historical themes, while modern techniques may explore more abstract or contemporary subjects. Additionally, old styles tended to have more detailed and realistic representations, while modern techniques may incorporate more experimental and expressive approaches.

Baroque art was a type of art that could be found between the 16th and 18th century. This art movement was fueled by the Catholic church. The subject matter was always religious. Caravaggio and the Carracci brothers were icons of this movement.
