The constant interaction of various materials and techniques in architecture, and competition between sculpture and painting in achieving more convincing visual illusion and eliciting the amazement of audiences, found its counterpart in the applied arts. The art of gold embroidery – elaborately embroidered religious objects and clothing – in the age of Baroque, competed with painting and sculpture as well. An amazing example of such a work is the Holy Sepulchre from Zagreb Cathedral Treasury, with a figurative repertoire made after plastic and graphic models. Liturgical vessels and reliquaries are made in countless imaginative variations of elaborate designs and precious materials, being the very essence of style.
