Thread of stunning ancient sculptures 🧵

1. Winged Victory of Samothrace (190 BC)

2. Dying Gaul (circa 230–220 BC)

This sculpture depicts a warrior in his last moments, as he succumbs to a fatal wound.

One of the most renowned works from antiquity, it captures the essence of bravery in the face of death, and an acknowledgment of honor in a foreign people.

3. Venus de Milo (2nd century BC)

This ancient Greek sculpture was rediscovered in 1820 on the island of Milos, Greece, and has been displayed at the Louvre Museum since 1821.

It is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, whose Roman counterpart was Venus.

Thread of surreal sculpture details 🧵

1. There is no rope in this image... it's marble.

Francesco Queirolo spent 7 years carving this intricate net from a single marble block.

No apprentice dared to touch the sculpture, fearing the delicate net would crumble in their hands.

It's called "Release from Deception" and is housed in the Sansevero Chapel in Naples.

2. In Canova’s magnum opus, Cupid’s wings are so exquisitely thin that they shimmer with a warm peach glow when kissed by sunlight.

"I can't read or write, but with these two tools, I can create poetry," he used to say, as he held his hammer and chisel.

Thread of the most beautiful gates on Earth🧵

1. Gates of Heaven, Lake Como, Italy

Villa Cipressi is a magnificent complex of buildings and gardens built between the 1400s and 1800s.

Originally part of the Serponti family heritage, the structure later passed into the hands of several owners, including the Accame family.

2. The Ancient Greek temple of Apollo in Naxos island looks like a star gate in this striking photo by Athan Andreas.

The "Portara," a colossal marble gate standing six meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, is the only remnant of the temple dating back to 530 BC.

Michelangelo was born 550 years ago today.

The same man who sculpted the Pietà at 23, was commissioned the David at 26, painted the Sistine Chapel’s vault at 36, and was appointed chief architect of St. Peter’s Basilica at 71.

A thread on the greatest artist of all time 🧵

1. Goethe said that "without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving."

If you've ever been inside this room, you know that it is simply impossible to disagree with the German polymath.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512, and he later returned to paint The Last Judgment (1536–1541) on the chapel’s altar wall.
