B, C, D
The Dutch Baroque, was quite different from Baroque movements in France, Spain, and Italy. In the north, Protestantism was the dominant religion, and the outward symbols of faith-imagery, ornate churches, and clerical pageantry-were far less important. Dutch society, and particularly the wealthy merchant class, centered not on the Church but, instead, on the home and family, business and social organizations, the community. Genre and landscape paintings were popular as well.
