My new digital restoration is this remarkable 2nd c. AD #sculpture of #Eros (Cupid) on a dolphin, approximating how it might have once appeared in the garden of an ancient Roman villa. But who’s captured who here? #polychromy #art #archaeology #romanhistory @MANNapoli 1/
The statue is on display at the Nat'l Archaeological Museum in Naples, but I can’t find information on its history or find spot. Once apparently part of the #Farnese Collection, a copy of a bronze #Greek original. 📸@MumblerJamie and Darren Puttoc. 2/
A few close-ups reveal that the head is likely modern - probably 18th c. (?), and quite good - but everything else, aside from a couple of fingers, appear to be ancient. The modern curls are very Botticelli-esque! 3/
The mesmerising driftwood sculptures of Japanese artist Nagato Iwasaki.
All of the figures are part of an interconnected work that Iwasaki calls simply ‘Torso’ and each have undergone a painstaking process of construction over the past 25 years.
“Gathering bits of wood from here and there, like an insect building a nest, I create sculptures” says the artist in one of his few interviews. Driftwood of just the right shape and size to mimic a human collarbone or the curve of a pelvis

The magnificent tomb of William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520-1598). Cecil was the chief adviser to Queen Elizabeth I for 40 years, as well as Secretary of State and Lord High Treasurer; certainly the most powerful non-royal of the 16th century. St Martin's Church, Stamford. #Tudor
Renowned as a wise and cautious counsellor to Elizabeth, the Encyclopædia Britannica states that, "From 1558 for forty years the biography of Cecil is almost indistinguishable from that of Elizabeth and from the history of England." #Tudor #History
