The movement exhibited both stylistic complexity and great diversity in its subject matter, from large religious works and history paintings to portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life. Masters of the era included Caravaggio, whose innovations in the dramatic uses of light and shadow influenced many of the centurys artists, notably Rembrandt; the sculptor, painter, and architect Bernini, with his combination of technical brilliance and expressiveness; and other familiar names such as Rubens, Poussin, Velázquez, and Vermeer.This was the era of absolute monarchs, including Spains Habsburgs and Louis XIII and XIV of France, whose artistic patronage helped furnish their opulent palaces. But a new era of commercialism, in which artists increasingly catered to affluent collectors of the professional and merchant classes, also flourished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880982708512,"sku":"NEW0892369345","price":29.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51ZopLzEu-L.jpg?v=1781814096","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/european-art-of-the-seventeenth-century-art-through-the-centuries-0892369345","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
