This stunning marble sculpture captures a poignant scene of a man being comforted by a woman's embrace. Standing at an impressive 147.5 x 70.5 x 126 inches in dimension, the piece is both massive and delicate. On top of its pedestal, a bronze plaque proudly displays the artist's name, Pieter Braecke (1858-1938), from Newport to Nossegem, along with the completion date of this masterpiece. The sculpture, titled Forgiveness (De vergiffenis in Dutch), tells a powerful story of a man on his knees, pleading for mercy as he is enveloped by a woman's arms folded protectively around him. The intense emotions etched on their faces create an air of deep sorrow and longing, elevating the piece to new heights of artistic expression. This incredible sculpture has been generously contributed to Scan The World, a groundbreaking initiative launched by MyMiniFactory to create a comprehensive digital archive of 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks from around the globe.
