marble sculptures
Chiseled white figures
Marble sculptures are three-dimensional artworks carved from marble, a metamorphic stone prized for its translucency and fine grain.
The medium dominated Western sculpture from ancient Greece through the Renaissance: The museum's collection of marble sculptures includes works by Bernini.
The term distinguishes stone carvings from bronze, wood, or other sculptural materials.
