Geroges de la Tour's "Magdalen with the Smoking Flame," c. 1640, oil on canvas. Georges de la Tour was one of the Caravaggio's most important followers in France and he became the court painter to Louis XIII in 1639. Like Caravaggio, he filled the foreground of his compositions with imposing figures, but La Tour's work revels in the dramatic effects of lighting. The light's warm glow gently brushes over hand and skull--symbol of mortality--to establish the foreground, but it also creates an intimate space. The ultimate message is a meditation on the frailty and vanity of human life.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini's "Saint Teresa of Avila in Ecstasy," 1647-52, Rome, in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria. Large-scale sculptural work conveys drama, illusion, passion, and the Catholic Church's "Counter Reformation" movement (to reform and bring Protestants/nonbelievers back into the church). Bernini is accredited with creating the Baroque-style of sculpture. Bernini uses the garment's folds to convey the saint's swooning, sensuous body.
