I think rammstein was a capitulation cost wasn't it?

The struts are pictured, exterior and marble.

Restoration which includes pinning broken pieces together, again pictured and explained.

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.

Yes ai is always correct. This is true, just for much larger statues like David though iirc it has no support either just a hole in the base to connect it to the roof it was intended to be on.

That said no there is no rebar, no metal insert of any kind just fun optical illusion.

Yeah they did bombardment, point then at an area and the area will be removed from play. They destroyed like 300 caves and 200 bunkers between Wisconsin and New Jersey.

Corporate capture. 50+ are pretty set in their ways, you wouldn't want anyone to have a midlife crisis and think "oh fuck, oh shit I'm a bad fucking person we gotta change some shit!".

No.

A. It was made 1890ish

B. Rebar rusts even if totally encased which would split the marble from within. (Marble is porous anyway so total encasement isn't super easy anyway.)

C. It isn't needed, Bernini was doing more with less before the advent of rebar.

Circa 1682:

Sorta yeah. Just with three supporting legs.

Both ends which make it look like the poles at the end are supporting the center but they're only part, most of the support is an optical illusion that makes the blanket or hammock fabric look visually thinner if you look diagonally across you'll see the fabric is actually much thicker than it looks from either side. The third leg is her arm which acts a a minor support by actually touching the base.

Picture 2 shows the ends diagonally, you'll see they're actually fairly thick pyramids-ish triangular shapes.

Pictures 3, 5 and 6 show her arm touching the base.

Just send him a well spoken good looking dude to fawn over and he'll end up paying off their national debt and extending defense securities.
