The term "Baroque" comes from the Portuguese word barroco, which means "broken style." It was first used to describe the art of 16th-century Spain, but it can also be applied to that of other European countries such as France and Germany.

During the Baroque period, Catholic churches were devoted primarily to worship and prayer, not cinema. Artistic expression was not considered important enough to include in church buildings. Painters and sculptors made money by creating images for religious institutions; they did not work directly for the public. Church authorities did allow some artists to paint biblical scenes or holy figures without using masks; but otherwise, their work had to be done within certain prescribed limits. Artists were responsible for creating all of the decorations and imagery in a Baroque church. They would usually choose subjects that were relevant for the community where the church was located.
