North South Protestant Divide [Nick Moraes, Alex Rithiphong, Luc Thorington] In 1517 Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg Cathedral. By 1520, Luther had been excommunicated and began a protest movement against the Catholic church. This protest movement would later be called Protestantism. During the 1700s, Europe was divided into Protestant and Catholics. As they are very similar due to their religion, they show different traits to express their beliefs. The fundamental difference between Protestant Baroque and Catholic Baroque is that Protestant Baroque painters carry subjects in ways that portray the artist’s personal expression. As for Catholic Baroque painters, they carry visually entertaining and captivating imagery in order to evoke emotions from the person viewing the image. Catholic churches are very well known for being decorative and eye appealing. As for the Protestant churches, they focus more on getting the message out on reading the Bible. Even though Catholic and Protestant churches have their similarities on religion, Catholics have more beliefs to their religion which causes their service to be a lot longer than the Protestant Churches.
