This exhibition will explore the dramatic and diverse depictions of murder by artists in the Baroque era. Baroque art was defined by having lots of movement in its characters, strong lighting points, different textures, and rich deep colors. This would make paintings look very dramatic to really mesmerize the audience. Using baroque technique in the art would help tell a more emotional story, as shown in the three artworks of this exhibition. The dramatics of the baroque era elevate all of these artworks to show the different meanings of death and murder in different situations.

In the sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa by Bernini, we see into a vision of Saint Teresa's, where she encounters an beautiful angel who stabs her multiple times. While she knows she is being gruesomely stabbed in the heart multiple times, all she can feel is love and ecstacy. Bernini has every aspect of baroque possible. There is stong lighting from right above the two main figures, who have stong angles and movement. There are also two boxes holding people as an audience to this vision.
Upclose, Saint Teresa's face is open mouthed and her eyes are closed, almost peaceful looking in her pleasure. The theme of this murder is shown as love.

This painting is obviously baroque, with its dark deep colors, dramatic spot lighting and angling of Bartholomew's body. Bernini tells of right before Bartholomew's death, where he is flayed alive by a man holding his device of death like a cross. The man about to flay him looks at him in what could be surprise, that a man about to die looks so content. The facial expression of Bartholomew is so important in this painting, as he knows of his death but is still unmovingly faithful in the plan. The theme of this murder is religion and faith.
