‘No field was more congenial to the spirit of Baroque art than sculpture carried out on a conspicuous scale. The Baroque artist achieved dramatic pictorial unity by abolishing the traditional limits separating painting, sculpture & architecture.* The solid masses of sculpture & even of architecture were made to move in space by means of such motive forms as undulations; sculpture was transformed by such painter’s devices as richly varied illusionistic textures, coloured materials, & irregularly dappling light effects.
