An excellent reproduction of 'Angelo della Resurrezione', more commonly known as the Monteverde Angel (or Oneto Angel), originally sculpted by Giulio Monteverde.
I did notice a few differences from the original sculpture: the model omits the umbilicus (belly button) and depicts the drapery with shoulder straps rather than the original sheet-like covering.
Beautiful model, debating on printing it lying down or standing up.
Hi, of course it is a nice design if I bought it too. You know I'm a sculptor, and yes I know the original on the Oneto tomb in Genova. To be honest this is not as good as that, the anatomy is missing from this 3D model, and of course the way of making hair and drapery is also more simple. I did hesitate a lot before purchase because of these. For me it did worth to buy, cause I will make some correction on it, then I will mill it to styrofoam on CNC and also remake some details in clay so that finally I would reach a model, that really good to be carved in marble.
I'm a big fan of G. Monteverde and I think this 3d model interpretation is carrying a big part of the beauty of the original. I found it to be a very good base to start from to make my version.
This one, I simply love. Beautiful, realistic model. And that detail with the finger on the trumpet...
