Elizabeth Gilbert \u003cbr\u003eAwestruck at the sight of a Grinling Gibbons carving in a London church, David Esterly chose to dedicate his life to woodcarving its physical rhythms, intricate beauty, and intellectual demands. Forty years later, he is the foremost practitioner of Gibbons s forgotten technique, which revolutionized ornamental sculpture in the late 1600s with its spectacular cascades of flowers, fruits, and foliage. \u003cbr\u003eAfter a disastrous fire at Henry VIII s Hampton Court Palace, Esterly was asked to replace the Gibbons masterpiece destroyed by the flames. It turned out to be the most challenging year in Esterly s life, forcing him to question his abilities and delve deeply into what it means to make a thing well. Written with a philosopher s intellect and a poet s grace, \"The Lost Carving\" explores the connection between creativity and physical work and illuminates the passionate pursuit of a vocation that unites head and hand and heart.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Lost Carving: A Journey to the Heart of Making | David Esterly | Hardcover | 9780670023806 | Used: Like New | Art History \u0026 Theory 1718648","offer_id":48742242386072,"sku":"1718648","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81u0nPjYZYL.jpg?v=1773850366","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/lost-carving-a-journey-to-the-heart-of-making","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
