"The Release from Deception,"

Carved from a single block of marble, it depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.

So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as “the last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.”

Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.

The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ" (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and "The Veiled Truth" (1750) by Antonio Corradini.

Francesco Queirolo (1752-1759)

*somewhere in Erebor*

Dori (in the process of tailoring Thorin a new coat): There you go. How do you feel?

Thorin: Like I said a dozen times, it is fine! I am late for court!

Dori: Fine is not good enough. Do you feel bonita?

Thorin: Do I- what?

Dori (through his teeth, a vein protruding on his forehead): Do. you. or. do. you. not. feel. bonita?

Thorin:

Thorin (starting to sweat): ... Come to think of it, I do indeed feel bonita.

Dori (delighted): Wonderful!
