Baroque artists painted so that the pictures pops into focus when viewed from the distance of approximately 3 times the distance of the widest dimension.

Beautiful Sacred Art at SS Gregory and Augustine Parish Church in Oxford, England
What a small parish can achieve with good taste and the will to have a beautiful church, even with limited means. The art in the reredos is a variety of styles that blend. If I were to characterize them, I would say 17th-century style baroque, and Italian and Flemish style 15th century Renaissance style.
