Imagine getting softly stoned
trainerredsteven
Yeah I mean if I had nothing to do my whole life than drink wine and carve stone I'd be pretty damn good at it too
spazzygc
I never thought I'd ever think that I'd love to motorboat some rock.

Something about how @OP's Mum has a lot of experience making hard things soft.

Before photographs, it must have been frustrating having to carve your porn out of stone.

Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini! Bernini!

I've always thought being a sculptor would be so stressful.
CaptainAmazing
Heard a presentation by an ice sculptor once. They can usually make a mistake into a new detail or something.

Can we stop a minute to appreciate how that body is still hot to thia day? Can you imagine how many people jerked off thinking of it?
DarkAngelWarlord

It would literally have cost you 0 cents to not say that yet here we are

Also that artist used a real life model to base it on, in person, looking like that, for probably months to years.

Imagine making my dick look hard

I mean they had magic back then so it's not that impressive.

The makers of such things as these will never get the credit they deserve.

Aw man I looked up where it is to see if I should add it to my bucket list but it's in Naples. Gross.
aboriginalmanhoodquest
Gross?
LearningOnImgur
There are many amazing cities to see in Italy. Naples is not one of them. Know many people who have gone. Crime ridden, crowded, dirty.

Sure. Just suck on it.

And its not even a normal stone but marble.
NastyBert2000
"Normal stone"?
zagibu
You know, the grey blocks from Minecraft.
AstroTibs
Isn't marble softer than ordinary stone, and so easier to work?
SilverFish0
Ya so I guess you could say it's not normal
Wedhro
It all depends on what kind of stone you consider "ordinary" since the surface of earth is mostly covered in sedimentary, soft stone.
fredgiblet
Literally years of practice.
khora
Assumptions!
TargetedAdBot
Literally years of sculpting one statue.
BagFullOfMommy
Literally decades of practice* Fixed that for you mate.

Still, Bernini was 22-23yo when he made Pluto and Persephone, pictured here.

It helps to not have piles of electronic devices to peel your attention away.
xanius
And a shit load of exceptional natural talent. I don't know of anyone that even attempts this anymore. We get a bunch of fucksticks that >>
NastyBert2000
Much art is marketed to rich a-hole dealers, sure. However, there are plenty of excellent contemporary sculptors. Google Luo Li Rong
xanius
Will do
xanius
Paint a big ass solid red rectangle and some other dipshit at a museum pays millions for it and they say it represents the pain of life. >>

Bunch of god damned idiots that have no skill and are rewarded by assholes with no brains. Splatters != art. Make something with feeling ffs

It would be funny to have some white painted people being seen running toward the carvers shop periodically.

Pretty sure it fed into the Medusa and Gorgon myths
