The veiled lady

The Veiled Lady - one of my favorite sculptures

Veiled figures, usually carved from marble, peaked in popularity in the 1700s. In the mid-1800s, several Italian sculptors revived this technically demanding tradition. As illusions go, they’re mesmerizing.

A most beautiful Raffaelle Monti marble statue of a Veiled Vestal Virgin. The stone seemed almost semi-transparent, an amazing carving. It is to be seen in the Oak room at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. It was featured in the recent film version of "Pride and Prejudice".

This sculpture belonged to the Cooper Family who lived in this building before it became an Art Gallery, but they bought the Veiled Lady to display in their country house, Cowick Hall near Goole in East Yorkshire. The sculptor is unknown, but it is probably by Rafaelle Monti (1818-1881) who worked in Milan, and was known for works of this kind. The Coopers visited Milan in 1879, but there is no evidence that they bought this sculpture there. The lady's face is very beautiful indeed.
