Probably itself a dwarf in comparison to Apollo and Dafne [0], but the Baroque period was later criticized, that's why the lack of fame and popularity

You've gotta see that one in person to truly appreciate what Bernini was able to do. Dafne's fingers are turning into leaves and those leaves are thin enough so that you can see light through the marble. If you're ever in Rome make sure you get to the Borghese Gallery it has several of Bernini's best works.
