Early Italian Baroque came from, and is practically a mixture of the Renaissance and Classical art characteristics. Thus, the formula used to create the early Italian Baroque art style is built upon the techniques, aesthetics and mathematics of the Renaissance and Classical art, from which Baroque art adapted.Baroque artists looked to the Classical, statuesque forms of the Greeks and Romans with their Heroic gestures and bold movements to characterize Baroque figures and portrayed anatomy in correct proportion, with little distortion, just as the Renaissance did. These are some examples of how Baroque art adapted human form and proportion principles from the Renaissance and the Classical. These Baroque artists tinkered with the mathematics from those earlier eras to create unbalanced compositions with diagonal lines.
