Summary

From antiquity to the present, sculpture has enjoyed a special position among the arts and continues to be one of the most interesting art genres. The incorporation of three-dimensionality led to impressive masterpieces, particularly during the Baroque period when the possibilities of sculptural expression reached their apex. This cube explores the far-reaching developments in sculpture from the Romanesque to the Baroque. Exquisite color photographs present the works first as a whole, then complemented by detail shots. An informative pleasure, both for sculpture aficionados and interested lay readers.
