Gardens became a work of art in France equal to, sometimes surpassing the architecture and they became associated with the autocratic government.
Baroque gardens then were for a show to glorify the owner.
The distinct features of baroque gardens were: a centrally positioned building on a huge tract of land with broad avenues radiating out, so many fountains, basins and canals.
As an Artist I think it depends on which piece of art it is and how you feel. Personally I like charcoal. On art medium they don't really talk about is oil paintings. They don't like teaching it because it a more complex medium.They mainly focus on acrylic paintings.
