Early Baroque Art - Romanticism
Baroque art used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theater, and music. The style began around 1600 in Rome and spread to most of Europe.
But the main thing is that the southern aristocrats were stupid enough to attack the federal government with the Republicans in power, and that government kicked their dumb butts back into the 15th century.

The Florentine Camarata and Guilio Caccini
Jacopo Peri (1561–1633). A Florentine who composed both the first opera ever, Dafne (1598), and the first surviving opera, Euridice (1600).
Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643) is generally regarded as the first major opera composer. In L'Orfeo (1607) he blended Peri's experiments in opera with the lavish spectacle of the intermedi. Later, in Venice in the 1640s, he helped make opera a commercially viable form with Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria (The Return of Ullysis to his Homeland) and L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppea).
