Bartolini himself relied on the scientific method of observation and recordkeeping. He worked with models not only in the initial phases of a project, but even after putting chisel to marble. He was convinced that there were no perfect models, but that nature “drops perfection onto a body between two defects.” He would strive to discern perfection in the smallest detail of every model.
