A new limited edition sculpture in white Carrara marble, again working with Sean Ford, and taking inspiration from Michelangelo’s Dying Slave. Originally conceived for the tomb of Julius II, in 1513 Michelangelo began creating a series of prigioni (prisoner) that were eventually eliminated from the project. The original statue depicts a beautiful youth, apparently in a deep (perhaps eternal?) sleep. This contemporary version, using the original title, echoes the pose.

PLEASE NOTE: Price increases as the edition sells.
