The Baroque style, characterized by its use of contrast, movement, and exuberant detail, emerged in the early 17th century in Rome, spreading to the rest of Europe, and was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter Protestant simplicity, with notable artists like Michelangelo, Bernini, and Vermeer contributing to its development, while composers like Handel, Vivaldi, and Telemann created iconic Baroque music, and architects like Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor designed grandiose buildings, all of which were influenced by the works of Galileo, Kepler, and other prominent figures of the Scientific Revolution
