Baroque

The Baroque era came after the Renaissance, while both eras often focused on biblical and historical subjects and both art forms prized highly polished, naturalistic craftsmanship, the renaissance was about intellectual pursuits, it was an era of artists developing the mind but the Baroque was all about the heart. It was emotional, dramatic and active. While Renaissance artists would create blanced, ordered and visually satisfying compositions, the Baroque embraced asymmetrical balance to create more active and dramatic scenes.
