The Restoration of - the sculpture of - King Edward Vll
A marble sculpture in Melbourne, Australia, of the former British King - King Edward Vll - has to be restored. The head, arm and foot are missing or has taken damage due to the forces of nature and human mistreatment.
We follow the process of reconstructing the head and arm of the sculpture using 3D scanning technique and carving robot in Pietrasanta, Italy.

Wish this was done by hand.. Just adds more character to such arts as this.

Modern times: Saving time = saving money. In the "good ol' days" you had six different stone masons to carve a sculpture: Course mason to artist mason. The one who starts with the stone is called a smodolatore in Italian and the one who finish the sculpture is called artisto. The ones in between do a finer and finer job til the end. It's only the rich who can afford the job done by hand now a days. The machine do the four first mason steps. The last two touch of human is done by hand.

I didn't know it was drilled with a machine. Is it just too difficult to carve by hand now or not financially worth the time it takes?

You went through all of that and didn't even show the completed sculpture...

It was my pleasure, m8 :) The job was done in Italy paid buy the client from Australia. A travel for me Down Under wasn't included in the budget ;)

The amount of hand/tool carving of marble AFTER it had been robotically carved seemed to be quite a bit considering how precise the face was. Wonder why that was? Was the programming leaving gaps?

Few questions - what happened to the original, where is the original head, can't laser cutters now do even fine detailing like the hair?

@CarlsenJohnny 5 жыл бұрын

The original head was lost due to hard handling and negligence when the sculpture was stored away. I don't know if laser goes with marble?
