'The Veiled Christ' Sculpture By: Giuseppe Sanmartino (1753) Location: Museo Cappella Sansevero Naples, Italy

“the folds, the finesse of the veil the beauty, and the regularity of the overall proportions” — Marquis de Sade

Giuseppe Sanmartino form a single block of marble. He made the beautiful detailed marble so transparent that it birthed the popular rumor that he placed a real veil over the sculpture and turned it to stone through alchemy.

Back in Naples - weeks before Covid -soon we were all told to stay home.

On the 6th January 2020 I returned to Naples not realising it was going to be my last foreign journey anywhere for two years. On 31st January two Chinese tourists in Rome were tested positive for the Covid virus and the Italian government declared a state of emergency. The first case of Covid was documented in the UK that day too, followed by a series of lockdowns beginning in March. Soon we…

The Veiled Christ ("Cristo Velato" ) is a sculpture completed in 1753 AD, originally (mis) attributed to Antonio Corradini and considered one of world’s most remarkable pieces of art.

In fact, the great neoclassical maestro Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822), who tried to buy the work, said he would gladly give up ten years of his life to produce such masterpiece.

Although Corradini was in fact commissioned with the job in the first place, he died having only produced a clay model for what would later be a definitive piece sculpted in marble.

It was Giuseppe Sanmartino (1720-1793), then, who ended up producing the astonishing sculpture of a dead Jesus, covered by a transparent shroud carved out of the very same marble block shared with the rest of the statue.

Sanmartino’s mastery — the veil covering the figure of Jesus being in fact “transparent” — didn’t only gain him a well-deserved place in the history of Western art but also turned his artwork into the stuff of legend.

Some stories claim Sanmartino covered his sculpture with a linen veil he managed to transform into marble by means of complex chemical-alchemical processes.

Those very same legends would also claim that Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero (30 January 1710 – 22 March 1771), commissioner of the sculpture, was himself an alchemist who taught Sanmartino the mysteries of his pseudo-science. Of course, these are but legends.

The statue is today preserved in the Capella Sansevero in Naples, Italy.

Christ Crucified

22 They brought him to the place called Gulgolta, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." 23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it. 24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. 25 It was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE YEHUDIM." 27 With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors." 29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!" 31 Likewise, also the chief Kohanim mocking among themselves with the Sofrim said, "He saved others. He can't save himself. 32 Let the Messiah, the King of Yisra'el, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him reproached him. 33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 At the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lama shavakhtani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he calls Eliyah." 36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Eliyah comes to take him down." 37 Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" — Mark 15:22-39 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain.
