In the bronze reliefs of Sansovino light patterns create impressionistic effects. In the Allegory of Redemption reflected light stands for the divine light that painters rendered in pigment, a feat even Titian could not match. According to Vasari, Sansovino combined the best of sculpture and painting, creating the "true form" (like a sculptor) while "giving to the fire so much warmth and light that one actually sees thing living and flames that, almost flickering, make bright the darkest shadows of the night" (like a painter). Such concerns were directly pursued by Baroque artists.
