Wherever it spread – whether to the Iberian Peninsula, North or Central Europe or to the New World – the Baroque acquired distinctive individuality and even developed a chronology of its own, equally in painting, sculpture and architecture. The established chronology of style (R. Wittkower’s Art and Architecture in Italy, 1600–1750) based upon the history of Italian Baroque – Early Baroque and Early Baroque Classicism (1600–25); High Baroque and High Baroque Classicism (1625–75), Late Baroque and Rococo (1675–1750) – therefore, does not apply to the art of all regions, especially not to the provinces where a large number of imported artworks of different origin interfered with the production of local artists.
