==Summary==
The baroque style started as a reaction or even part of the wider counter-reformation movement against Protestant Europe. The use of baroque was a way for Catholic parts of Europe to easily distinguish themselves. It soon developed a number of sub-styles and local variations of baroque developed in the countries where it was adopted. From the 17th and most of the 18th centuries, baroque dominated the arts, including architecture, sculpture, including music with famous composers such as Bach being a product of this era.
