Cemetery Statuary - Hey, Zeus! no. 2

At 4.24 m tall, this towering ancient Roman statue of the emperor [Marcus Aurelius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius) dominates the gallery in the Capitoline Museum in which it stands. This bronze statue was likely commisioned and erected in the 2nd century AD either to commemorate Marcus Aurelius' victory over the Germanic tribes or his death.

See the museum entry [here](http://www.museicapitolini.org/en/percorsi/percorsi_per_sale/museo_del_palazzo_dei_conservatori/esedra_di_marco_aurelio/statua_equestre_di_marco_aurelio).

*Note:* Due to the height and location of the statue, it was not possible to photograph from above. As a result some detail on top of the statue is missing.

Scanned on Easter. There are a few holes in this scan that I hope you'll forgive. This was an impromptu and spontaneous scan and I was slightly unprepared (I'm not tall enough to get some of those pesky details).

Close to 300 photos, processed with realityCapture, decimated using the same.

3D scans I used to dress a 3D environment I made for school in Unreal Engine.

Found really cool looking Angels statues here on sketchfab that were free to download. Having to create a lot of assets in a very amount of time, I just decimated them Zbrush and cringely unwrapped them. I baked these decimated meshes and textured them in Substance to have more optimized meshes and not break performance in Engine.
Even tho they're really not the best, I think they could be useful to people also wanting to use these scans for a realtime scene. Since I got the scans for free, they're here for anyone willing to use them!


Here are the original scans :

In Greek mythology, Ariadne is the daughter of Minos, the King of Crete. She falls in love with Theseus, and gives him the ball of thread that later allows him to escape the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur. She escapes  with him to Athens. But he abandons her, asleep, on the island of Naxos.
This 3rd-century-AD statue – a Roman copy of a Hellenistic work – is desplayed in the Room 35 of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
After 220 years, this statue came back to the Uffizi museum in Florence in 2012.

Arianna dorme, abbandonata sull’isola di Nasso dall’uomo di cui è perdutamente innamorata, Teseo. A lui la donna, figlia di Minosse, aveva procurato il gomitolo di lana che permise all’eroe, dopo aver ucciso il Minotauro, di uscire vivo dal Labirinto di Creta. Con lui era in seguito fuggita ad Atene.Egli però la fece addormentare sull'isola di Nasso e la abbandonò.
La statua, conservata nella sala 35 della Galleria degli Uffizi di Firenze, è la copia romana di una scultura ellenistica del III secolo d.C.

The texture seems a little dull/gray to me. I did try to reduce shadows and highlights in Lightroom and probably overdid it.

Happy to let you use this in your own artwork, just remember to give credit, share alike and no commercial usage.

Object: The Collins Monument
Location: Ohio River Valley

**Historical Significance:**
This towering 19th-century pedestal, bearing the family name "COLLINS," is a classic example of Victorian-era funerary architecture. Monuments of this scale and expense were almost exclusively designed to serve as a base for a large crowning statue, such as a draped urn, an angel, or a symbolic figure.

**Preservation Status & The Lost Statue:**
This "Digital Twin" documents a severe loss of historical context. While the heavy limestone pedestal has survived, the crowning artwork has been completely sheared off by kinetic impact or decades of freeze-thaw fracturing. Only jagged, unidentifiable stone anchors remain on the top plinth. Without early photographic records, the original identity of the statue is a permanent mystery. This archive preserves the surviving family name and architectural geometry before the remaining stone succumbs to advanced biological weathering.

Collins Monument: Lost Statuary (19th C.)

Modello scultoreo digitale ispirato al Canto V dell'Inferno. L'opera raffigura Francesca da Polenta e Paolo Malatesta, trascinati in eterno dalla bufera per il loro tragico amore.

Rielaborando le illustrazioni di Gustave Doré, il modello unisce tormento romantico e pulizia neoclassica. Filologicamente, la centralità è data a Francesca: è lei l'assoluta protagonista e voce narrante dell'episodio dantesco, mentre Paolo le resta al fianco in un pianto silenzioso.

Tecnicamente, il panneggio è stato ingegnerizzato come solido piedistallo naturale. Questo trasforma l'impalpabile "volo" delle anime in una struttura statuaria stabile e ottimizzata (topologia a triangoli), pronta per essere esportata e realizzata fisicamente tramite stampa 3D.

Omaggio a Francesca e Paolo di Dante Canto V

"Sono nata il ventuno a primavera / ma non sapevo che nascere folle, / aprire le zolle / potesse scatenar tempesta."

Modello 3D dedicato alla grande poetessa milanese Alda Merini, generato tramite Intelligenza Artificiale a partire da una fotografia della sua celebre statua.

Questo modello è stato realizzato come supporto visivo e interattivo per una lezione scolastica di letteratura sulla sua poesia "Sono nata il ventuno a primavera". L'obiettivo è avvicinare gli studenti alla sua figura, mostrando come la genialità e la "follia fiorita" della poetessa possano prendere una nuova forma attraverso le tecnologie digitali. Pubblicato per celebrare il 21 Marzo (suo compleanno e Giornata Mondiale della Poesia).

Alda Merini - La Poetessa dei Navigli

*L’Amour captif* est une sculpture en marbre réalisée par le sculpteur français **Félix-Auguste Sanzel** (1829-1883). Présentée au Salon de 1868, où elle obtint une médaille, l’œuvre fut installée en 1869 au Jardin des Plantes à Paris, devant la galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle. Elle s’inscrit dans le programme de statuaire publique du Second Empire et fait aujourd’hui partie du patrimoine sculpté du jardin.

Le groupe représente un jeune Amour ailé, reconnaissable à ses ailes et à son carquois, retenu par un faune. La figure enfantine, nue et délicate, est immobilisée par la créature mythologique à l’expression appuyée. Conçue en ronde-bosse, la composition est destinée à être observée sous plusieurs angles et illustre le goût académique du XIXᵉ siècle pour les sujets mythologiques traités avec expressivité.

This bust of Breonna Taylor is available to everyone supporting Black Lives Matter and civil rights, and is presented with love by the father-and-son team of sculptors, Daniel and Rodman Edwards.

“While protesting is pivotal, there are plenty of other effective modes of activism,” said Rodman Edwards, “we agreed that using our talents was the best way we could show our support.”

“As we are now seeing the removal of the statues that are monuments to systemic racism, we believe it is time to put the power of commemorative statuary into the peoples’ hands. For the first time in history, individuals have the right to choose who they wish to memorialize forever,” said Rodman Edwards.
