“The Release from Deception,” by the Genoese artist Francesco Queirolo was created over a space of seven years in the 18th C.
The medium is marble and not granite and he used basic metal tools, but to carve this sculpture out of a single piece of stone is a remarkable achievement.
If a pre-dynastic Queirolo was given a single block of granite, metasiltstone, greywacke or whatever and was allowed seven years to create one vase using only the tools of that era, how perfect do you think it would be?
