NOVELTY IN ScuIrruRK.-The London Spectator, in
describing piece sauay which has been exhibited in that
city, the work Of Raaele Mon speaks of the wonderful exc
cution Of the design follows
"The egy of yelled Vestal tending the everlasting fame
is curiosity in sculpture feat of art The figure the
size Of life it is clothed in robe and veil thrown over the
head envelopes the face shoulders and part OF the arms this
veil is transparent Not merely do you discern the covered
forms where they actually swell and touch the VEIL but
you think you through the veil underneath the full and
delcaey finished features Of most beautiful face you
detect the reeating Of the profile and the swelling
forms Of the lips with space between na soy but crspy
rounded flesh and the covering gauze You deceived.
Working the transparency Of the marble with cunning skill
the sculptor arranged the hnness and thickness OF his
tera that the reaced lights suggest the forms beneath which
not carved The artist has cheed the outward form OF
the veil and in doing so has painted the veed face in the
light and shade CHANGING through the marble He calls it
scnerzo and i, so but much moret is very beautiful
figure"
