Nude in a Hammock in White Carrara marble by Antonio Frilli. How on earth does the physics work here with all that weight in the middle!

Artists were using metal bars inside marble statutes for joining and shaping for centuries. But I’m not going to argue about it as this is lemmy and opposing facts are not wanted here.
That's just the AI summary, my dude. The very same AI summary that instructed how to make spaghetti with gasoline and pizza with glue.
You still need to fact-check that shit.
ffs….
Here, and here
It’s amazing how an “AI” summary is gospel when we need it to be, and simultaneously shunned as blasphemy when we need it to be. And ironically you used a specific error that was over a year old as an example to illustrate your point that all “AI” summaries are wrong as a result.
A. Has supports because it's a copy of a bronze statue. (Not metal but marble ones)
B. Is talking about adding supports for preservation.
Notably neither talk about metallic struts within the structure as part of its design.
A: “But Anna Anguissola highlights a still more extraordinary aspect of the New York figure, the evidence its marble parts preserve for the original presence of supports and struts, left in position when the figure itself was chiseled free from the marble block”
B: illustrates the effort of restoration in marble art pieces that have structural support.
I’m done arguing about this.
The struts are pictured, exterior and marble.
Restoration which includes pinning broken pieces together, again pictured and explained.
I really don’t care.
Neat.
