Extended data:

In the history of western art, we can't help but mention the Renaissance and the magnificent Baroque. However, when watching the art of these two classic periods, many people still can't tell the difference.

The Renaissance mainly refers to the progressive revolutionary movement in Europe from14th century to16th century, which was guided by humanism and aimed at reviving ancient Greek and Roman culture, while opposing the religious shackles in the Middle Ages.

The baroque period after the Renaissance mainly refers to the17th century, and the important representatives of this period are also world-famous, such as Rubens, Vermeer and Rembrandt.

In order to highlight the integrity of the picture, the artistic creation in the Renaissance is a closed style, and all the characters are balanced in the picture, giving people a comfortable and stable sense of tranquility. Looking horizontally and vertically, the typesetting of characters is very regular and pleasing to the eye.

In the Baroque period, art did not have to follow the rules, but was an open style, which also reflected the rhythm of artists' creation. The characters are not confined to the frame, and the description of the boundary is full of tension, looming, giving people unlimited room for reverie.
