Brazilian Baroque

The Baroque in Brazil was the dominant artistic style during most of the colonial period, in the early seventeenth century, introduced by missionaries Catholics, especially Jesuit, that there went to catechize and acculturate the indigenous natives and assist the Portuguese in the colonizing process. The most typical characteristics of Baroque, usually described as a dynamic style, narrative, ornamental, dramatic, cultivating the contrasts and a seductive plasticity, convey a programmatic content articulated with refinements of rhetoric and great pragmatism.
