Follow along as a 150+ year-old statue is restored & installed in the NC Museum of Art.
In the mid-19th century, an American sculptor, living in Rome, creates a masterwork representing King Saul under the influence of an evil spirit. Bought immediately upon its release in 1865, the statue was settled into an aristocrat's country house, the house became a boarding school, & the statue eventually came to the attention & the collection of the North Carolina Museum of Art.
