Michelangelo's Mary and Jesus Statue
All Photos : The World : New England : Download : Next
So, I took this picture in 1999 in front of a church in Watertown, Massachusetts. I didn't realize at the time that it's a copy of a statue done by Michelangelo that is currently at the Vatican... I figured it out when I saw a picture of the same statue on a brochure while visiting Rome in 2001. Canon Elan IIe, 28-80mm lens.1/21/2001. Resolution: 765x1444.

It always irritates me to see that there are so ignorant and uneducated people in the world who are not familiar with "Pieta", the most beautiful statue in the world! (11/20/2009, 9:20 PM)
