Dear Pauline,

What a joy to have you here, all the more since not many visitors are coming by this time. I am very happy that you like the masterpiece presented. I recommend you take a look at my other Luca dellla Robbia's great favorite here (http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/image.asp?id=12266) , I am sure you will find it amazingly beautiful too.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

P.S. I forgot to thank you for inviting such wonderful people as Srinivasan and Geketa. They are certainly welcome.

Dear Sri,


Thank you very much for such erudite collaboration on Luca Della Robbia’s work. I must confess I was not familiar with any major works in bronze by him before he shifted from his celebrated sculptures in marble, such as the singing-gallery for the Florence Cathedral, to the more economical enameled terra-cotta.

I would like to especially thank you for your interesting annotations on his all-important twist to this medium, which add to this forum. And I thank my dear friend Pauline Raina for inviting you here.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Geketa,

You are most welcome to this forum, and I thank Pauline for inviting you. I am glad you like sculpture and hope you like painting too.

My only merit is putting together some data from the best art sites to accompany the artists' masterpieces. However, I try to check these data carefully to make sure they are true. Your sons will learn from these great sites, not from me.

On the other hand, I am not sure whether visitors will still be coming in the future, as I apparently have not had this month any notifications of my forums sent to my list of friends. But I make a vow to keep posting regularly at this forum.

So I hope to see you again and again here.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Hi Luis,

The stone and marble sculptures are amazing. Marble is such a hard
stone. The beauty of these monumental accomplishments leaves me
in awe. I remember reading when one sculpter was asked how
he made such beauty out of stone, he replied that "the image is
already in the stone. I was just removing the stone that covered
it".

I remember making a small sculpture in high school, my feeble
efforts created a work that was unrecognisable and unrelated
to what I was trying to create. My mother told me that it
was pretty and thanked me for it and then she asked me
"what is it?"
