In Baroque architecture, sculpture played a significant role in enhancing the grandeur and drama of the buildings. Sculptures were used to decorate the exterior façade and the interior of the buildings, often as part of a larger composition. Sculptures were also used to create focal points and draw attention to important elements of the building, such as entrances, niches, and pediments. Baroque sculptors used marble, bronze, and stucco to create intricate and highly detailed sculptures that conveyed a sense of motion and emotion. The use of sculpture in Baroque architecture was an important aspect of the overall design, contributing to the theatricality and magnificence of the buildings.
