Spanish Boroque Art
Christian Faith can be based on facts.
Strong focus on realism, never conveys its own existence as being a miracle.
Images of clouds, floating baby angels, and other mythical imagery are not in Spanish Boroque Art.
Religious images are portrayed as realistic events, and not as mythical events.
It is believed that the truth, the reality of a situation, can lead you to faith.
The main focus of realism, is no interpretation, just something being real.
A big idea here, is seeing is believing, and that to understand what the world is like, is to look at it.
These images capture things as they are.
