abc wednesday - M is for "marble"


Which is what this beautiful flowing "fabric"
is made of—in the Chiesa dei Gesuiti, in
Venice. Even in person, it's hard to believe
that this is actually stone.

    I totally agree with you, I remember being fooled and having to come as close as possible to be sure.
    The best view for "marble" !

    You could have fooled me. It's truly amazing how a sculptor can do this.

    It totally looks like fabric! Are you sure you're not having us on just so you can put the M for Marble? ;)

    this is so cool. I am curious, did they paint the fabric's design over the marble? & can anyone actually stand or sit inside this too?

    I seriously doubt the craft to reproduce something like that is readily available today.
