With Star Wars day only a couple of days away, I though it would be fun to go through their characters this month in alphabetical order ๐ First up is Anakin Skywalker. Iโll also try and squeeze in some Mermays, too.
@kalaelizabeth Nice! Iโm at a point where I need to choose to either do the final mission of the base game, or the extra final missions of PL. I donโt know which to do first ๐
There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble.
Is there a person alive today who could do this?
"The Release from Deception" by Italian sculptor Francesco Queirolo - completed in 1759 after 7 years of work. It depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.
So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as โthe last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.โ
Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.
The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ"ย (1753) byย Giuseppe Sanmartino andย "The Veiled Truth"ย (1750) byย Antonio Corradini.

The lighting and painterly textures look more like style frames or color keys than finished frames from a film. Very impressed by the eye candy in the 'Mutant Mayhem' trailer.
