Which one of Bernini's sculpture that use several pieces of carved marble and assemble them?

  • I would like to know above question... I know that he uses the multuple marbles technique with some of his work but I am not sure about the famous one like David , Apollo and Daphne or St. Teresa has assembled with several pieces. Please help

  • Answer:

    I would expect that any of these sculptures with arms and legs separated from the body/base would be done with separate pieces, as this was common practice to avoid the requirement that a huge block of expensive marble be carved away to make the open space, especially since such a block is likely to have flaws that require pinning narrow pieces anyway. I have seen notes when a sculpture IS made from one massive block - Michelangelo? - and nothing is mentioned in the notes about these three.
