The sculpture is widely recognized as an impressive creative medium. Unlike a two-dimensional piece, a three-dimensional work allows the artist to transmit a deeper level of meaning to the audience.

Some artists have always had a natural talent for creating sculptures, which has been confirmed from antiquity up to the present.

Unlike other forms of art, where the artist may always add to their medium by including new elements, the sculpture has a much more definitive ending since the artist can only take it away by destroying the original shape.

The most renowned and prolific sculpture artists include Auguste Rodin (French, 1840 -1917), Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (French, 1827 -1875), Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Italian, 1598 -1680), Michelangelo (Italian, 1475 -1564), Aristide Maillol (French, 1861 -1944), among others.
