Free art history lesson here, @RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217 Many roman and greek classical sculptors idealized the human form. If you think @topaventador4064 's interpretation is carnal what would you make of the nudes? Attractive and sexual human forms have been subjects of sculpture since its inception. See for reference: venus of hohle fels, venus of willendorf, venus of dolni vestonice, and of course, venus de milo. You're the one demeaning sculpture by emptying its history and trying to sanitize it! Art captures the whole human experience -- leaving sex or physicality out of it is ... sigh That said, I do see your point -- we don't look at a statue or cathedral and comment on the attractiveness of the sculptors, and it would be ridiculous to reduce their work to one's subjective opinion on the attractiveness of the artist's body. However, this commentary should have some place here because, Surprise! I'm providing you with another free art lesson: This CZcams video, this medium intentionally employed and deployed with staging, editing, camera work, etc. is itself an art work. The artist (the sculptor) is also the subject -- it's his hands carving it, his body heaving it, his brow concentrating, etc. Except that it's a video, he is a living sculpture, if you will. A body which bears a resemblance to what one might see in classical greek or roman statuary. The commentary from @topaventador4064 is entirely fair play, much like one could comment on the rendering of the hair or fabric of classical sculpture.
Please do more of these long form! I know they'll be more effort, but they're beautiful, and peaceful. It's really fascinating seeing the stone become something else
Stonemasonry and blacksmithing are two things I never get tired of looking at. The amount of focus, attention to detail and dedication is just admirable.
This is the good side of CZcams. Just watching someone with a skill show an impressive demonstration. No influencers trying to gain clout, vlogging or pushing greedy ads and sponsors. Just good clean art.
I've been watching Charlie on Instagram and he's incredible with stone and marble. I'm absolutely blown away by how beautiful his work is. The attention to detail and the perfection of the sculpting is something you'd see from someone doing stone work for 30 years. Nice job keep up the awesome work.
And we have Decades of documentaries telling us that only Ancient Aliens could do such precise work with lost technology that we could not possibly duplicate today
Well stated, i would only differ in using the word 'aliens' and i call them something like IMBETs _[imaginary matter-based extra-terrestrials]_ @@amelica5502because they only exist in science fiction and the true aliens to the true definition of the word _[foreigners, stranger from another land],_ are invading our borders in Europe and Far West America and Canada etc. The town he is in looks like my parents town from Italy.
This is fascinating to see this block turn into the carved beauty it is at the end. You, Charlie, will never be replaced with AI or machinery. Thanks for sharing your artistry with us~
What a talent! One error could ruin a piece. To see a young person perfect this art is very uplifting. I enjoy watching the blows, chisels used and the technique, but I find myself holding my breath when he breaks away large cunks at a time.
I have to say this man literally has the most attractive build ever, godDAYUM… I mean, his artwork is amazing, but I’m looking at a different kind of artwork-😭😍
That reveal at the seven minute mark...SIMPLY AMAZING. I would truly love to try my hand at stone carving, but my hands are already shot and the vibration would be incredibly painful...so I'll just enjoy watching your work.
Limestone just from quarry tends to be relatively soft and it hardens over time in the air. But of course it's still stone. He really has excellent understanding how the material behaves and which action with those simple tools will give desired result.
Charlie im a blacksmith, id be really interested in learning more about the chisels, slicks, etc that you use? can you do a video on them or suggest some sources where we can learn more about them? thank you for sharing your art sir.
I love your work and your channel, especially these videos without music, just the angelical sound of your craft and the godly vision of your achievement. Thank you
How do you only have 5k subs? Your the frigging man. I'm sure others can do this but your the first channel I've ever seen doing it with style and some grace. Good stuff man.
this is crazy!I was just at a 16th century castle In Portugal last week and was in complete awe of the carvings. And been wondering if anyone can or does this anymore and I stumble upon you. So fukin cool and I’m really impressed by your work. Thanks for sharing…
Awesome job you have great talent at carving maybe crafting hope to see a lot more episodes I'm hooked keep up the great work buddy. John and marie thank you awesome job again 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love ancient stonework and to see someone actually do it is fascinating. I could watch this all day, it's very relaxing. Thank you for the videos. Cheers
Yeah to imagine it's been there for billions of years. I often feel we should be careful with that stuff and not make expensive kitchen table tops and such.
@@bigbattenbergMeanwhile a company like mine throws out big pieces of marble without ever turning them into something. Marble is not like granite, which almost regrows over millions of years you could say. There is a blueish marble coming from the italian Alps called pallisandro bluette and most of it gets wasted for throwaway tombstones and Kitchen tops...
@@sapiensfromterra5103 i was just watching a video about a Japanese stone mason building a 'Samurai wall' in Dallas, Texas. The technique involves fitting every stone pretty much as it comes and the right stones are selected by the stone mason. In this case the stones were already there and some had to be cut, which the Japanese mason found a terrible waste. Watching and learning from Japanese culture and tradition makes one realize how terribly wasteful modern life is in every aspect, only in our personal lives we can make different choices.
This is so impressive!! Good old craftsmanship, nothing is more impressive. Oh, and the beautiful surroundings and views make this video extra enjoyable to watch.🤩
Amazing work,so enjoyable to watch cratsman at work..but i gotta say the variety of high quality tools is astounding.Looks like high tensile steel, titanium or carbide toothed inserts and multiple varieties of shock absorbant round mallets. Wish he did a video explaining and showing all the tools he uses.
Dear Mr. Gee. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Congratulations for having all those skills. To me this is almost unreal. Watching you drawing straight lines without a ruler respectively help is already mind boggling for me. It's a fantastic cooperation between precision, artwork, Imagination and power. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
What’s really impressive and crazy to me is how you get every step perfect, even if it’s going to be completely chiseled away in the next step. It does make sense though, because each step is a reference for the next step and a sloppy first step will cascade into an absolute mess at the end. It just seems crazy to chisel a perfectly flat and square face only to smash it all away later. That’s just the name of the game though, no one ever said stonework would be easy! Haha
You are a true artisan you make that look so easy! The skill and gift you have is very amazing. I say that from my people that are true artisans building “The Parthenon”.
One of the excursions on our trip to northern Italy was a marble quarry. Where Michelangelo mined the marble for his David, the Pieta..you would like it, I like your video..and watching your work..thanks Charlie
I have always wanted to see this done. Beautiful! Think of the many statues carved so delicatly. One I saw was a beautiful woman with a lace shroud covering the face shear enough that you could see the face. I the other one of a fisherman holding up a large drape of a fishing net. Im going to watch more of your work, beautiful!!!
during this video, hundred of women had to run to the bathroom, some of them later found themselves to be pregnant, an equal number of men questioned their orientation, and a marble stone was carved.
How much does something like this one piece sell for after you hand sculpt it? Fantastic work by the way. I'm interested in learning more on your services. Square and precise. I notice and appreciate the details. Keep up the great work, for future generations.
Consider ancient Rome and the amount of marble used. These carving sounds would’ve been a constant in the Roman Forum where temples, monuments, shrines and government buildings were clustered. “There’s nothing new under the sun,” including urban noise pollution.
So refreshing to see no tattoos on the real man, the trolls more attention to his art form done himself, it's a sign of confidence and that's what one needs to chop a block of sandstone like that!!
Hello Charlie, I'm new to your channel and I really like your videos. I have wondered where have you learned this ? In a school or some books ? I would really love to learn it ❤.
Wood would be a lot more expensive than these limestone blocks. Plus you have grain in wood so techniques would be quite dissimilar. Only the art would carry over
I’m wondering how long the tools will last? How often do you have to get new hammer or a new chisel? Loving the work, very cool! I so wish more young people in my area took to a beautiful heritage skit like yours. Very nice.
It's not a long term job if you want to be healthy when you get older. White fingers, respiratory, carpal tunnel syndrome, silicosis ( depending on the materials). Obviously you can avoid some of these things with proper PPE but there's a risk no matter what.
@@praxusjoon2478 yes even limestone has silica in it, albeit it's about 2% or less but over time it builds up. Marbles can have from 5% up to 30% depending on the marble.
my biggest curiosity is how often do you hit blocks that have a structural weakness you didn't know about before starting? do you do all your own sourcing of blocks and how many projects have you lost due to material failures?
I would presume if that were to happen of a structural weakness, they compensate for the problem or get a new block. From what i know about marble, it's not common to have a structural weakness, i would presume we have machines now that might be used to scan the rock for problems to reduce any structural weakness issues.
E probia bella, che abilità e destrezza. The town you are in looks like where my parents are from, i'm first generation in Canada.... hope you enjoy or enjoyed your stay in Italia... seeing where you are there makes me miss Italy so much. I desire to go back and escape the lunacy of Canada.
You can buy a tripod or two and use a couple old phones to be able to film more, that way you dont have to rely on someone filming you all the time. Great content great work cant wait to see more!
That is so amazing. Loved seeing actual MARBLE carving. Now I'm wondering if Michelangelo had all those tools or some of them. I'd love to see more videos.
Michelangelo actually used to use Stone quarries men for his models at times because they were such specimens of a perfectly proportioned male physique.
Michelangelo would have all those tools, the steel would be of lesser quality of course, so he either required to re-sharpen them more often or just switch to a new chisel more frequently while an assistant re-sharpened his tools. I know nothing about stone-sculpting, but it is obvious that after millennia of sculpting stone there would have been an enormous variety of chisels developed for every possible purpose and type of stone, as well as different hammer types.
@@rw-vr6vw Similar to how every chip of stone removed from the block was done so by the hand of the skilled craftsman, a blacksmith would have formed each tooth on the rasp by hand. Starting with a flat bar of metal (that they had previously formed from an ingot) and using a chisel very similar to the ones on display here (though of a different shape and size obviously), he would cut each tooth, then when that step was finished, he would bend the rasp into the desired shape and harden the metal. Ancient people took patience to a whole other level than most people could tolerate today 😂

Erm what the sigma
It’s like Michelangelo’s statue of David came alive and decided to carve stone.
