Art in general went astray when it didn't keep pace with science during the middle Baroque. Artists have been lost ever since. Bernini was in the next to last generation to be able to be both an artist and a scientist. After around 1700 art has gone into numerous revivals or rejections that cannot keep pace with the dedicated , persistent, search and discovery of truth that necessarily occupies science. Bernini's sculpture is miraculous in that he was able to instinctually create sculptures from Galileo's discovery of Jupiters moon IO which sort of makes marble into wax which was Bernini's intent. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system.
