To: Hebrews 11:6

Good Morning Dan, and ‘beautiful art-day’ to all.

Appreciate you posting so many; they show real grief, even hopelessness...
But soon their tears would be turned to joy.

Have a couple of sculpture questions for Dan and etabeta:

#51 Richier: are those real windows in the background, and what is the scale?

#57 Sanmaritno : Stunning! I believe this work matches the skill of the Greek “Elgin Marbles”.

Thank You Dan!

Searched just now for data on Richier's sculpture but struck out.

Suggest you try this link to the homepage of Sanmartino's Veiled Christ.

The Richier sculpture is in the St Etienne Church of Saint-Mihiel, France. The 13 figures are slightly larger than life and are carved out of fine-grained Meuse limestone. This is the sculptor’s last known work in France.
