Escultura barroca

Escultura barroca refers to the elaborate and dynamic sculpture style from the Baroque period, roughly from the late 16th to the early 18th century. Characterized by intricate details, dramatic movement, and emotional intensity, it aims to evoke a strong response from viewers. Artists used these sculptures to convey religious themes and stories with a sense of realism and immediacy, often incorporating flowing drapery and lively expressions. Baroque sculpture emphasizes depth, contrast of light and shadow, and a sense of immediacy, making the artwork feel alive and spiritually engaging.
