The Release From Deception, 1754. It’s been (((downhill))) since. It reportedly took Queirolo seven years to fabricate this marble net, which he crafted without a workshop, apprentice, or other form of external assistance. The Sansevero Chapel Museum notes that this is because even the most specialized sculptors “refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.” From: https://mymodernmet.com/francesco-queirolo-the-release-from-deception/ I can think of no other work that would define the world we live in.
