It’s the standard issue Italian bricklayer/housepainter hat! I remember we all knew how to make it when we were kids.

[@davidlipschitz6422]

I couldn't agree more

[@larissafae2135]

are you truly an artist if you don't have a newspaper hat?

[@IdiosyncH]

Easy way to keep marble dust out of your hair and simultaneously look stylish and masterful 😉

[@andremetayer1467]

It never ceases surprising me how the two steps before the final sculpture are themselves pieces of art.

[@Elviloh]

Indeed, but the clay would last a couple weeks, the plaster a couple centuries, while the marble will last for thousands of years. That is how we got our cultural heritage, how societies built things that would last, and amaze people so far away in time.

[@izharfatima5295]

​@@Elviloh No. You are wrong. It is not the urge to be known to the times unseen which makes humans to choose , it is their fear.

[@andremetayer1467]

@@Elviloh That's absolutly right : the marble can resist at the centurys and more. But, I never said another thing. I just say that, for me, not for everybody, the steps are art. You see ? Not an invest made by interest because of the longevity of my buying... Just for the beauty. The finess of the lines, the curves, the grain of the material. You're probably right. I'm a poet... And, you know probably that in certain archaeological dig sites, sometimes, some clays figurines are founded, even if they are a little bit or more broken, and all the personns who work on this dig site exult... Maybe they are poets too... I'm happy. You gave me the opportunity to attempt to defend a point of view in english. But please, be cool with me, that's not my native language !

The fact that he had to repeat the process THRICE and with three different techniques! He first sculpted it with clay using the additive method, then make a cast with plaster of paris, and then sculpt the same out of a marble slab using the subtractive method. This is absolute monk like concentration.

[@eliseereclus3475]

Plaster of Paris, not paris. It's the town.

@@eliseereclus3475 woah weird I knew about a material called plaster of paris but not about a friggin town that has Eiffel tower, right? Thanks for enlightenment.

[@katiegutridge8758]

This is the real deal! Thank you for sharing. Most people have no idea of the time and skill that goes into Mold Making and Subtractive Stone Carving. Sadly, both casting in plaster and using a point method to enlarge/transfer to stone is becoming a lost art. More exhibits and videos like this, please!

[@jtoddmusic7090]

Excuse my ignorance. Why is it necessary to make a plaster mold? Couldn't the artist use the clay as a model for preparing the marble version?

[@bostonrobbins876]

The biggest problem using a clay model as his reference would be the wear and tear from constant measuring.

I think you should change your title. Instead of putting "a scupltor", you should put his actual name. Not many people check the description and putting his name in plain view seems better.

[@Arcania9516]

I believe they used the word "sculpture" instead of his name so that this video would advertise in the algorithm. I think they should have used both the word "sculpture" and his name in the title.

Staggering. Hypnotic to watch - thank you and congrats to all involved in the commission. Not least the master sculptor! I visited another Canova piece at Chatsworth in the UK recently and wondered at the practical processes behind these beautiful masterpieces. And you’ve answered so many questions, thank you!

[@justinmechanic17]

As a professional painter I loved the sculpture study in the beginning. Its exactly how I plan out my paintings. Working out the difficult shapes like the tilt of the head before you start. Just excellent 👍

[@НатальяЮргенсон-Васюкова]

For days on end a person works in complete silence, passionate about his work. What different professions, some come into contact with people all day long. And someone can be so immersed in the process of recreating masterpieces that thy don't even notice how the time of day changes outside the workshop windows. What painstaking work! How much patience and love this master has for his creations! It is clear that the man has been doing this all his life! This can't help but amaze! "The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection" (Michelangelo).

[@Joseph-im8be]

This is insane, incredible! The skill, the patience, the attention to every single detail - I find it hard to fathom how people can do this, and obviously did it hundreds of years ago too.

[@musashidanmcgrath]

Having just returned from visiting the ancient sites and museums of Troy, Alexander Troas, Pergamon, Assus, Ephesus, Parion, Thessaloniki, Nimes, Orange, and Tarragona, my head is still spinning from the mind-boggling amount of time, skill, craftsmanship, and resources that went into creating the millions of stones, columns, reliefs, decorative and figurative sculptures, capitals, bases, arches, temples, and pretty much everything. 😊 Seeing this process can give people an idea of just how incredibly skilled and dedicated our European ancestors were.

[@topy706]

I can only imagine the countless thousands of hours that went into mastering this craft. Humbling
