The transparency effect is made by polishing in some grey pigment, in the right places. Some sculptures still baffle me tho…

Back in the days when your boss wasn’t saying “I need this marble sculpture done by the end of the day!!”

It started quite sexy and quickly went downhill. Still gorgeous though!

This is what I absolutely love about Camille Claudel’s work. I was blown away by the veils and the sheer power of emotion. Y’all. Visit the

Visit the Rodin museum in Philadelphia. Get your mind blown.

This is the culture of the west! this is what men fight and die for no one but a man could possibly have made this act of worship before god

At the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay I was absolutely bewitched with the sculptures. Some of these look like medusa had a side hustle

I was at the National Art Gallery in Dublin earlier this month and holy jesus some of the sculptures

We visited Villa Boorghese in Rome and were mesmerized by Bernini's Rape of Persephone. Mar(b)vellous!

Check out bernini. Ecstasy of st Teresa is a masterpiece

Heh yes, she is clothed and it sits in a very small church. However, she is having a literal toe curling orgasm

This is a love letter of a man to a woman. Truly, is there an example of a woman making something so beautiful /s

Yeah brain brains. Your tongue also knows what licking these would feel like.

@op. Y'all need to get cultured. Go Google up some Bernini, Corradini and to be a little extra check out Caillard

Boy oh boy. That Saint Teresa…

On our trip to Rome the first stop after we checked in our hotel was Villa Borghese and Berninis Rape of Persephone.

If I was rich enough I would commission a statue then have it painted in a hyperrealistic fashion.

Statues and buildings were all painted during the Roman Era since why not this idea that everything was left blank is due to age

I hated when the moved like that. The whole point of weeping angels is that they move so damn fast you don't see them move.
Raszagil
If you happen to see one, its because you blinked just right to catch them before they "killed" you by sending your ass back in time.
MikeRInternetTraveler
You’re only seeing them move 24fps. They’re moving between the frames we see.
thornus67
I hated when they moved on screen at all. Part of the gimmick of the first ep was the viewer watching them also counted as looking at them.
cbjfan
IIRC they were "powering up"
ItsMorphinTimeIdiot
Is the movie don't blink? I can't find it
IrrelevantHandle
It's a monster from the 2005 Dr Who. The first episode w/ them was called don't blink.
thornus67
The episode was called Blink.
QuamvisSintSubAqua
2005? You make me sad. And old.
ItsMorphinTimeIdiot
Ah, thank you!

It's good to watch as a stand alone episode, the Doctor is a minor character and it focuses on new only for that episode people. Including

Speaking of both incredible marble sculpting and the butts, where’s the Bernini “rape of proserpina”? One of the most insane pieces

Your mediocracy is someone else's role model. Dont sell yourself short, only strive to get better, friend.
SJSHARPei
This was before smart phones, internet and TV (I think) people (sculptors specifically) didn’t get distracted by sculpture pics on Imgur.

Nothing wrong with being fairly adequate.

I see these as their highlight reels. Their failed attempts or practice marbles were definitely lost in time. Keep at it ?

Mediocre is best. You're not the worst and no need to prove your the best. We can't all be Mozart but we don't need to be bums either.

Talent isn't built in one day. Everyone starts at zero. Some may be faster learner however.
TheMagicalUpvoteFearie
Talent, real talent, counts for about 2500 hours of practice iirc. Mastery takes about 10000 hours of practice
adrianontherocks
You are extremely talented at being mediocre

I just give that appearance, I'm pretty mediocre at mediocrity
adrianontherocks
*gasp* that means you are EXTREMELY skilled in mediocrity. Next you’ll say you’re only mediocre at being mediocre about mediocrity.
