Impossible marble sculptures

#oldworld #sculpturs #oldarchitecture The veil in sculpture has been striking for centuries those who see this miracle. The sculptors managed to convey in a solid marble block the tenderness and airiness of the finest fabric, capable, as it seems, of moving from the slightest breath of the breeze. It takes a lot of skill to create this amazing “veil effect“. And only a few sculptors managed to achieve perfection in this complex technique. The very technique of the “veil effect” in sculpture has been known since the time of Ancient Greece, but its popularity peaked in the 1700s. The first sculptor to revive the marble veil was the Neapolitan master Antonio Corradini.
