A living heart beats under the marble skin

By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/a-living-heart-beats-under-the-marble-skin.htmlThey say a stone can't come to life. But the great masters of their craft have long proved that this is not the case. Unsurpassed masterpieces are born in their sensitive hands — you look at them, and it seems that a quiet sigh is about to be heard and your eyelashes will tremble.
We have collected for you sculptures from all over the world, striking in their beauty and realism.
