Of Popes, Peasants, Monarchs, and Merchants: Baroque Art 17th and Early 18th Centuries in the West

Europe in the 17th Century, after the treaty of Westphalia in 1648 ended the 30-Year War. Europe’s power, trade, and financial markets are now world wide.

Latin America, a great source of wealth for Europe, especially Spain, was the main destination of the millions of people enslaved and taken out of Africa between 1500 and 1850. The U.S. received about 523,000 enslaved immigrants. Cuba alone got more. Spanish America absorbed around 1.5 million and Brazil at least 3.5 million. Their descendants form about half of the population in the Caribbean and Brazil – the two historic centers of sugar production.

Bernini was influenced by Hellenistic sculpture like this one, The Dying Gaul, c. 200 BC. (Roman copy), GIANLORENZO BERNINI (Italian, 1598-1680), David, 1623. Marble, approx. 5’ 7” high. Galleria Borghese, Rome.

Detail: face of Teresa BERNINI, Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome, Italy, 1645–1652. Marble, height of group 11’ 6”.

Cornaro family busts in niches on sides, praying devoutly and acting as witnesses to the holy drama. Teresa is experiencing a transfiguring coma, the so-called “Sleep of God,” described by mystics, in which a glimpse of Heaven’s glory is received. Mystics like Teresa would pray for days, often unfed, to achieve such visions.

Theatricality is a hallmark of the Baroque. CARAVAGGIO (Michelangelo Merisi, Italian, 1573-1610), Conversion of Saint Paul, Cerasi Chapel, Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome, Italy, ca. 1601.
