"Modesty" is a renowned marble sculpture created by the Venetian Rococo sculptor Antonio Corradini (1688–1752). This exquisite work of art is considered one of Corradini's masterpieces, embodying the Rococo style's emphasis on grace, lightness, and delicate forms. The sculpture was completed in 1751, just a year before Corradini's death, marking it as one of his final and most accomplished pieces.

The sculpture depicts a veiled female figure, an artistic motif that Corradini explored throughout his career, showcasing his exceptional skill in carving marble to resemble transparent fabric. "Modesty" stands out for its intricate detailing and the successful illusion of a soft veil clinging to the contours of the female form beneath. This not only demonstrates Corradini's technical prowess but also serves to convey the theme of modesty, as the figure's pose and the veil suggest a demure and reserved character, in line with contemporary ideals of femininity.

Originally commissioned for the funerary monument of Cecilia Gaetani dell'Aquila d'Aragona in Naples, "Modesty" is now housed in the Cappella Sansevero, also known as the Chapel of Sansevero de' Sangri, located in Naples, Italy. The chapel is renowned for its collection of Baroque art, including works by other prominent artists of the period.

"Modesty" is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical virtuosity, representing a high point in the tradition of veiled figures in sculpture. The work captures the Rococo movement's fascination with themes of sensuality, delicacy, and the interplay of visibility and concealment. Through "Modesty," Corradini contributes to the artistic exploration of materiality and immateriality, offering viewers a meditation on virtue, beauty, and the transcendent qualities of art.
