Raphael, Madonna

By on October 26, 2008 in Art History, Artists


Thanks Ian Cox (26th October 2008) and Mail on line for this story. Sometimes restoration is for the better.

PS I found a poem by Big Kenny



While walking in the park one day,

I saw a sculpture in my way.

It stood alone, so tall and proud,

The top of the statue next to a cloud.

I sat on a bench and stared a while.

The outdoor sculpture made me smile.

The weather tried to make it old.

But it was just too strong and bold.

As I walked away from the 3-D art,

Sculpture had a special place in my heart.

    A fine restoration. Is this from the National Gallery?

    Thanks you for dropping by my Blog and leaving your constructive comments, always good to hear feedback as an artist.

    I’ve had a good look round your blog and your website, some very impressive sculptures technically. I like…very talented.

    Who is Big Kenny?

    If the European artworld ever became rational — a skilled copyist would be hired to make a fine reproduction – and the original panel would be stored in a vault somewhere for future reference.

    That is a very valid idea.

    Marley, I am not too sure.
