marble sculpture
Chiseled white figure
Marble sculpture is three-dimensional art carved from marble, the medium of classical Greek and Renaissance masterworks.
The term emphasizes material over technique—distinguishing work in marble from bronze casting, wood carving, or clay modeling.
The museum's collection includes Roman marble sculptures from the second century.
