Unknowingly, the master got so emotionally involved with his subject, Moses. To his mind, the statue seemed real and alive. In reality, it was just a statue. There was no life in it. There never was.
It's a good thing the author repeated that 3 times, you might forget.

Every act of fixing the original piece, chiseling the edges, and polishing the surface erased the original vision, the delicate touches and the evidence of madness left by the long-gone master.
Too bad them long-gone masters did not have nice 3D CAD programs, or all details would be precisely preserved forever.
