Every sculptor in Naples refused this commission. A man trapped in a fishing net — carved entirely from a single block of marble, each strand hollow, weightless, and free-standing in the air around his body. One sculptor spent seven years completing it alone, without a single broken strand.

In this video, we break down how Francesco Queirolo pulled off one of the most technically impossible sculptures in history, the theological story hidden inside it, and why it sits in the same chapel as two other "impossible" marble masterpieces — the Veiled Christ and the Veiled Truth.
