'The Veiled Christ' Sculpture By: Giuseppe Sanmartino (1753) Location: Museo Cappella Sansevero Naples, Italy

“the folds, the finesse of the veil the beauty, and the regularity of the overall proportions” — Marquis de Sade

Giuseppe Sanmartino form a single block of marble. He made the beautiful detailed marble so transparent that it birthed the popular rumor that he placed a real veil over the sculpture and turned it to stone through alchemy.
