Apesar de ser tema de muitas pesquisas e constantes avaliações, a historiografia pertinente não aponta um consenso quanto a seu estilo artístico. Destaca-se assim a dificuldade de compreender, em sua totalidade, a obra de Aleijadinho somente à luz dos estilos europeus. Através da compração entre a produção arquitetônica de Aleijadinho e o modelo italiano, tenta-se perceber seu entendimento da arte barroca, evidenciando-se o acentuado caráter popular de sua obra, fruto da condição colonial.
