What about the "High Ren"? Is this not a valid differance?

[sandermartens]

i feel like this video focuses too much on Caravaggio who really kinda had a style of his own (Caravaggism) and not enough on International Baroque artists like Guido Reni and Velazquez

I disliked this video.
Because your explanation of 'Baroque' is incorrect. The word 'Baroque' comes from the Portugese word 'Barroco', which means 'The imperfect pearl'.
So, less research. But I appreciate you attempting to make a video on such a complex subject. Kudos for that.
