WW - Raspail
A well known statue at the Raspail tomb at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Really interesting Jams, it looks so sorrow filled without even showing facial expression that is some artist. I love all the shadows playing in this and the angle as well!
Those hoodies get everywhere.

ReplyDeleteLove the yellow of the background against the grey and white of the statue....

Quite dramatic. Very strong (curved) lines on the figure.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting and, as catsynth said, quite dramatic. I've never seen anything quite like it, Jams.

Happy WW! I'm always amazed at the immense talent of people who scult things. This image is another example of that talent!
