The Sansevero Chapel
The Veiled Christ
"A life-sized marble statue, representing Our Lord Jesus Christ dead, and covered in a transparent shroud carved from the same block as the statue."
An extract from the accounting records signed by Raimondo di Sangro in favour of Giuseppe Sanmartino for making the statue.
