The history of Baroque sculpture is complex and multi-layered: from its beginnings to 18th-century Neoclassicism, from marble statues in the cradle of the Roman Catholic “Universe” to the wooden ones in the smallest of towns in Central Europe, it has shown numerous transformations. Nevertheless, it is a story of thousands of dialects from the same speech; of the amazing languages of the Baroque. While Roman aesthetics based on the classical tradition continued to live in most of the marble works, the early 17th-century wooden sculpture of North and Central Europe remained stuck between the Late Gothic and Late Mannerism, only later did it develop into a variety of Baroque expressions.
