    no matter how much i look at it i still can’t wrap my head around stone carving-the ability to turn a stone into a piece of art is and forever will be amazing; i have nothing but respect for artists

      It's actually carved from a special marble that has a black and white vein pattern which happens to look just like news print. It took 7 months to carve and polish.

      Michael Hogan Giuliano Finelli, from Bernini's workshop, is thought ( not all the experts agree) to have done a lot of the bark and leaves and flowing hair on Daphne.

    • @musamor75
      @musamor75 6 лет назад +12

      egparis18 Well done for the research work. If you look up a certain Grinling Gibbons (actually of Flemish descent), a breathtaking woodcarver in England in the late 17th century, you’ll learn that he had a workshop in London- that tragically burned down- with over 400 carvers under his command. You need only take it a step further to understand his prolific output. However, in the finer details you can always feel the Master’s touch. Another interesting case is that of Rodin, and his “apprentice”/mistress, Camille Claudel. She surpassed him (which he was fully aware of) but never really got her due. She died tragically, and was totally neglected by her brother- a very famous French author. History resounds with a deafening roar of silence around hidden talents. One could go on forever over injustices. I believe you’re a cultured gentleman; it’s a pleasure to come across finer people. Best regards.

    Unbelievable! I read a long time ago that the sculptors whose names we admire never actually cut marble and only created the image leaving the hard work to stonecutters, but I never saw them at work. Fantastic! Copying a marble masterpiece using just basic tools is beyond belief! Great artistry! Thank you for the skilled artisans and to whoever ordered this copy. Good job, sheikh!

      In the past a successful Master would have plenty of young apprentices to populate his work shop. Happy to learn, eager to help and do the removal of excess rock before things get more serious. Today these young people seem to spend much time playing on their smartphones and power tools replaced them. Also modern social protection laws make it much more difficult to have many of such helpers in Europe.
