Another sculpture you should check out is Bernini. Makes stone look like it’s a fluid. The rape of Persephone is well photographed piece.
Edit: For those asking, the Borghese gallery in Rome has the rape of Persephone as well as many other Bernini works and is well worth a visit and no shade to Michelangelo :). He was 150ish years earlier than Bernini so it’s also a great look at how the techniques and skill with working with stone improved over time.
