What path follows the first idea until it takes shape in stone? Which materials to choose? Does the sculptor work alone and without reference points? So many questions to which this book answers concretely by reconciling history, aesthetics and technique. It helps the sculptor or apprentice sculptor to define his project, to carry it out using patterns, squaring methods, development and the technique of the three compasses. It also presents in a clear and precise way, thanks to the text-image dialogue, the different stages of execution of seven works, of increasing difficulty. A practical manual, this book is also intended as a reference work for all those interested in stone carving.
