The main differences between French and English Baroque painting can be summarized with the following statement:
**b. French Baroque painting had a strong Italian Baroque influence, not seen as much in English painting.**
French Baroque artists, such as Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain, were significantly influenced by the Italian Baroque style, particularly in terms of grandeur and dramatism. In contrast, English Baroque painting, exemplified by artists like Sir Peter Paul Rubens and Sir Godfrey Kneller, showed less direct Italian influence and was more affected by Dutch techniques and styles.
