Maro - a Sculpture at the Beyond Limits exhibition at Chatsworth

This marble wing was created by British born Christopher le Brun using Nestos marble from the Lapicida Stone Foundry in Harrogate.

The piece plays homage to the poet Virgil, and represents Icarus' flight when he goes too close to the sun and plummets to his death.

For more on this excellent exhibition just see my blog.
