Stunning marble figure seems to defy stone itself, her body twisting upward as if water could turn into flesh, desire, and tragedy all at once. 🤍👏🏼 Chauncey Bradley Ives carved Undine Rising from the Waters in 1880, inspired by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué’s tale of a water spirit who gains a soul through love. #art #marble #sculpture #artist #explore
