Counter-reformation art was meant to draw people back to Catholicism. They embodied the dramatic and whimsy, using extremely realistic details and also emphasized modesty. Some great examples of Counter-Reformation Art would be Gian Bernini's sculptures. They are so intricate and truly capture their goals, look up his sculptures "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa", "David", "Apollo", and "The Rape of Persephone", which is my favorite sculpture of his.
