 Michelangelo Buonarroti, Florentine, 1475-1564, Awakening Captive: detail of face, material is Marble
Carving is a subtractive process in which the material being
carved is chipped, gouged, or hammered away from the inert, raw block of
material. Michelangelo wrote, “Each stone held within it the secret of what it
might become as a sculpture”. Carving is very difficult even the best artists
had difficulty realize the concept.
