I never really knew how beautiful something could be. These are probably the two most beautiful things I've ever seen.

There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble.

The artist dedicated 7 years of his life to sculpt.

It's called "The Release from Deception", by Italian sculptor Francesco Queirolo in 1759.

Possibly the greatest test of patience in the history of art - and not a single wrong step made in the marble.

This is one of the most beautiful sculptures of all time.

"Virgin with veil", it was carved in the 19th Century, by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza (1818-1875).

You can notice the effect of transparency that will be reflected in this great artist.
