What form of art became popular during the Baroque period?

  1. Realism

  2. Landscape

  3. Portrait

  4. History

The correct answer is: Portrait

During the Baroque period, art became more focused on the emotional and dramatic expression of the human experience. This style was known as Baroque, and it led to a surge in popularity of portrait painting. Realism, landscape, and history were also popular during this time, but they did not have the same level of emphasis on emotion and drama as portrait painting. Realism aimed to capture the world as it is, while landscape paintings focused on the beauty and majesty of nature. History paintings depicted dramatic and often heroic scenes from the past. While all of these styles were present during the Baroque period, portrait painting was the most prominent and celebrated form of art during this time.
