Focus on Modesty (Corradini sculpture) and discuss the Veiled figures.
Corradini's interest in the veiled human form spanned his long career. His subjects were usually woman and often allegorical. Early in his career, his works depicted heavily draped figures in a classical manner and then progressed to a thin, translucent layer of marble acting as a veil as he perfected his craft. An example of the latter and the work on which Corradini based Modesty is his Vestal Virgin Tuccia, sculpted in Rome in 1743.
