Baroque Sculptures

BAROQUE STYLE

The decadence of the Baroque style, in which ornate furnishings were layered against paneled walls, painted ceilings, stately chandeliers and, above all, gilding, expressed the power of the church and monarchy through design that celebrated excess. And its influence was omnipresent — antique Baroque furniture was created in the first design style that truly had a global impact.

Theatrical and lavish, Baroque was prevalent across Europe from the 17th to mid-18th century and spread around the world through colonialism, including in Asia, Africa and the Americas. While Baroque originated in Italy and achieved some of its most fantastic forms in the late-period Roman Baroque, it was adapted to meet the tastes and materials in each region. French Baroque furniture informed Louis XIV style and added drama to Versailles. In Spain, the Baroque movement influenced the elaborate Churrigueresque style in which architecture was dripping with ornamental details. In South German Baroque, furniture was made with bold geometric patterns.

Compared to Renaissance furniture, which was more subdued in its proportions, Baroque furniture was extravagant in all aspects, from its shape to its materials.

Allegorical and mythical figures were often sculpted in the wood, along with motifs like scrolling floral forms and acanthus leaves that gave the impression of tangles of dense foliage. Novel techniques and materials such as marquetry, gesso and lacquer — which were used with exotic woods and were employed by cabinetmakers such as André-Charles Boulle, Gerrit Jensen and James Moore — reflected the growth of international trade. Baroque furniture characteristics include a range of decorative elements — a single furnishing could feature everything from carved gilded wood to gilt bronze, lending chairs, mirrors, console tables and other pieces a sense of motion.

Hand-Carved Boxwood Calvary Sculpture, Spain, 17th Century
Hand-Carved Boxwood Calvary Sculpture, Spain, 17th Century

Hand-Carved Boxwood Calvary Sculpture, Spain, 17th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

This hand-crafted Calvary sculpture was produced in Spain during the 17th century and is carved entirely from boxwood. The piece depicts the traditional Calvary scene, representing Christ crucified on Mount Golgotha, a subject widely interpreted in Spanish religious art of the period. Boxwood was a favored material for devotional sculptures due to its density, fine grain, and ability to hold highly detailed carving. The sculpture is executed with careful attention to proportion and anatomical detail, reflecting the devotional and didactic purpose of such works. The compact scale and refined carving suggest it was intended for private worship, a chapel setting, or ecclesiastical use, rather than large-scale architectural display. The use of boxwood allows for crisp detailing, particularly in facial features, drapery, and the structure of the cross. Calvary representations played a central role in early modern Catholic iconography, serving as visual tools for meditation and reflection. This example reflects the craftsmanship and religious sensibility characteristic of 17th-century Spanish carving traditions. The sculpture remains a strong historical object, valued for its material quality, traditional iconography, and artisanal execution. It stands as both a devotional artifact and a collectible example of early Spanish religious sculpture.

Carlo Marcellini 'Florence 1644 – 1713', Florentine Baroque Putto

Located in Bruxelles, BE

Carlo Marcellini (Florence 1644 – 1713) Putto White and green marble 41.5 x 73.5 cm This marble putto carved in high relief, almost a tutto tondo, and set on an elegant green marble background, appears almost naked, sitting on a cloud. His peculiar pose, in adoration, suggests that the work was a part of a larger composition including other figures in devotion. Published in 2007 by Sandro Bellesi in the monograph dedicated to Gioacchino Fortini (pg.155), this beautiful marble putto was included in the catalog of Carlo Marcellini, a prominent figure in the baroque renewal of Florentine art. Born in Florence in 1644, Carlo Marcellini received his artistic education in the city of the lily, specializing in stone sculpture and stucco modeling under the guidance of Bartolomeo Cennini before continuing his studies in Rome in the Accademia Medicea founded by the Grand Duke Cosimo III in order to familiarize some more promising artists with the essential “ taste of Rome ”. Under the guidance of Ercole Ferrata and Ciro Ferri, Giovan Battista Foggini...
