He reminds me of an Italian sculptor ,who used marble.I believe he was also an architect with a rival competing with each for commissioned works from the Catholic church .Their names are similar and Bortellini and B.....Corning the commentary makes it so much more enjoyable. This Martin ,I'm searching for his glass sculpture. I want to see who he sculpted this hand for🤣Thank you for sharing your artist with the world. 😁🌺

Anyone else here because Bobby Duke ended? I'm not complaining!

[@sarahdebardeleben1536]

Is this part of a larger piece?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Sarah, yes, Martin frequently creates full-size humans out of glass. See examples of his work at www.martinjanecky.com/. Thanks for watching!

Weird fun anatomy fact. In 80% of people, a female hand, will have the index finger, longer than the ring finger. On a male hand, the ring finger will be longer than the index finger!
