    Sculpting stone without machines is hard work, Michelangelo was probably ripped.

      After a few months of carving stone sculptures every day, I suddenly had the urge to do some pull ups. I did about eight fingertip pull ups - before that, I don't think I could've done one if my life depended on it. People would joke about my hand crushing handshakes.

    • @dante8999
      @dante8999 6 лет назад +158

      First they would make a clay sculpture and spend months to years refining the details... Then they would use large calipers to get the angles and details right by copying what they already made. This technique is still very popular today

      Yeah. ....Ancient Rome was an empire. ....so they could afford to import artists, craft-mans, arhitects to work for they.
      (Like Appolodor from Damascus )
      The sculptures belong to Italia Peninsola becouse that people PAID for sculptures ,not becouse thay made them !!!!!
      Sculptors and workshops were mainly greeks !!!!!!

      That depends on what the artist intends. I've seen sculptures that look as if they could get up and walk away, and others that are deliberately blocky and crude-seeming, and a variety of forms in between.
      Or they chose to end the video there because it's more of the same until the sculptor finished the piece.
