Photogrammetry Scan. This bronze bust is a stunning depiction of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, proudly displayed outside the Madeira airport, now renamed after its most famous son, the Cristiano Ronaldo airport in Madrid. The sculpture, created by visionary artist Emanuel Santos, sparked a heated debate upon its unveiling on March 29th, 2017, with many dismissing the stylized caricature as a comical take. Santos fired back at the critics, saying, "It's impossible to please everyone - not even Jesus pleased the entire crowd." The sculptor's vision brought Cristiano Ronaldo to life with an uncanny likeness to his iconic, confident gaze, leaving him beaming with pride. With minor tweaks requested by Ronaldo himself to make the bust appear more youthful, Santos nailed it, proving that he truly captured the essence of this sports superstar. Huge thanks go out to Antoine for creating this incredible piece of contemporary portraiture. Share your thoughts and feedback with us at stw@myminifactory.com!
