- Copy of Vittorio Sgarbi's critical text

"The sculpture reminds me of the principle that animates Donatello's Prophet Habakkuk, for whom the divinity of man is recognized in reason regardless of physical appearance, intentionally charged to emphasize its equal intellectual dignity. In this work, however, the Gothic verve of the gaze or the half-closed mouth guides us to our most disquieting inner truth, to be what one is in good as in bad.
Vittorio Sgarbi."
