How real is too real? Pedro de Mena's sculptures 

You guys actually inspired me to go see these in person (I live in nyc) they’re relatively small but so detailed it’s like looking at a moment in time. Not creepy or uncomfortable just still, yet full of emotion.

Gorgeous sculptures. Very moving

Why was my first thought, "You can never get too real in these streets!" 😂😅 I don't care what material these are made of, they're beautiful. Mary's lashes immediately got me, but I also love the tears and flesh tones. They would definitely impact my prayer life in a positive way.

Beautiful sculptures

In Spain in churches this art is all over the place. They change the clothes, and make new ones, and take them out in procession. Although the statues taken out in procession are usually whole. Fun story, I was in the church in the town I lived in Seville, and a few women where going to change the dress of the statue of the Virgin, and they asked me out. I assumed that they just didn’t want me to look at even the statue of the Virgin in her undress. Anyways it was fun times. The hyper realism bothers people not used to it, but it’s pretty normal to the regular Spaniard. Now I see it and it screams Spain.

Pedro de Mena did the most beautiful and delicate virgin Marys. Stunning.

Wow 🤩. Every video in this series is so enlightening 🙌🏼😇

These sculptures remind me of the statues that were in the catholic churches of my youth. Hyper realistic. Today's churches don't use them as much. Also they were plaster.

wow, those are something else, would love to see more of these polychromos wood statues.

Brilliant video, thank you!

Just seeing this makes me move and somehow I feel like about to cry before the end of the video

I'm intrigued, what's the correction?
