8The Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino (1753)
Found in the Cappella Sansevero in Naples, “The Veiled Christ” by Giuseppe Sanmartino is a marvel of sculptural skill. The artist carved the marble in such a way that it appears as though a transparent veil drapes over the body of Christ. The level of detail and the illusion created in the veiling process make this sculpture a testament to Sanmartino’s technical prowess.
