This is Giovanni Strazza's "Veiled Virgin" (c.1850s), held at the Presentation Convent in St. John's, Newfoundland. A miracle of marble. pic.twitter.com/y0LMPmHiDl

@Anc_Aesthetics And certainly one of the most overlooked, given its proximity to David.

Modesty was completed in 1752 by the Venetian Antonio Corradini, a sculptor of European fame already in the service of Emperor Charles V in Vienna, called by the Prince of Sansevero to be the co-designer and maker of the project for his Chapel (but Corradini, as we can see from a plaque erected by di Sangro, perpendicular to the column where Modesty is situated, died in 1752 “dum reliqua huius templi ornamenta meditabatur”). Here, the artist, who had also sculpted other veiled figures, attains a remarkable degree of perfection in shaping the veil laid elegantly and naturally over the body of the woman, as if the vapour from incense burners contributed to dampening the impalpable layer and extraordinarily adherent to the skin, girded round with a garland of roses. The gaze lost in time, the tree of life, and the broken plaque are the symbols of an existence cut short too soon, and express the pain of the son Raimondo, who thus wished to preserve for the future the features and virtues of his young mother. The bas-relief on the pedestal also makes explicit reference to the Gospel story Noli me tangere (Christ appears to the Magdalene dressed as a gardener). https://t.co/fBFPNWBrAW

@Culture_Crit It's from the early 1700s. It is richly ornamented with sculptures, reliefs, and other decorative elements that reflect the baroque style. pic.twitter.com/gKadw3Rrh3

The Creation of Adam is a fresco painting by Michelangelo that can be found on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and it has always fascinated me. The painting shows the moment that God brought Adam to life, with God's hand reaching out to meet Adam's. The outstretched arm and open hand of Adam create a sense of vulnerability and longing, making his reliance on the divine prominent. The painting reflects Michelangelo's incredible knowledge of human anatomy, and the figure of Adam echoes the figure of God, almost as if one is nothing but an extension of the other. The painting is based on the biblical story of the creation of Adam from the book of Genesis. Michelangelo's brushstrokes were sure and energetic, and he left no space to chance!

@education_fun1 @Culture_Crit This. There may be more stunning technical sculptures, but this one is perfection for me.

HistoryandBeauty @education_fun1

I agree, it is the combination of the skill and emotion that makes it at the top of the list for me. There are many greats out there and have wonderful pieces that may be more advanced than Michelangelo’s Pieta. But cannot top it. That’s the wonderful thing about great art - it speaks to people personally.

@education_fun1 @Culture_Crit I wrote about it in a story once as "the type of art that converts masses with its beauty and elegance". I stand by that. Even if it's factually incorrect.
