His female statues come to life, and disdaining his love, smile upon the wealthy man. Raphael awakens and in real life his of poor love swept aside by great wealth and how misery, ruin and death follows in the train of Marco, a beautiful and merciless coquette, termed "the marble heart" on account of her cold nature.
