“The Veiled Christ” By Giuseppe Sanmartino
The world-famous sculpture of “The Veiled Christ” can be spotted in Naples, Italy, in the middle of the Sanservo Chapel. It is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular and well-known pieces of art found anywhere on the globe. Marble was used for creating the life-size artwork, sculpted to resemble a veil covering Jesus Christ.
Sculptor Antonino Corradini was the first person asked to create the artwork when the Prince made the request. After he passed away, it was handed up to Giuseppe Sanmartino. When he took control, Sanmartino paid little heed to Corradini’s style and instead added his baroque twist to the aesthetic.
