In honour of Easter. One of the most beautiful sculptures ever created.

The Veiled Christ is a marble sculpture made by Giuseppe Sanmartino and preserved in the Cappella Sansevero, Naples.

How this was sculpted out of marble leaves me speechless!

1753.

Look up how they used to cut through marble, it's even more dedicated than sculpting it

Be mindful though.....

The grinding of the flour can be an incredible thing,
It's what the baker does with it however, that 'raises' it to an artfrom.
