Valente Celle Tomb, 1893, The Staglieno Cemetery, Genoa - Italy
Sculptor: Giulio Monteverde (Bistagno, Alessandria, 1837 - Roma 1917)
The funeral monument called “Eternal Drama” represents a real Dans macabre, the futile attempt of life to escape the inevitable embrace of death. The sculptor Giulio Monteverde underlines, in this sculpture, the contrast between the sensuality of the beautiful young woman who personifies Life (caught in the moment in which , wearied by the vain struggle, she is about to surrender herself to the terrible spectre who has chosen her as his prey) and the rigid impassiveness of Death which seizes her. http://grabschonheiten.diary.ru/p81440998.htm?oam
Vierge Noire de Rocamadour
A close up of the statue of Our Lady of Rocamadour in France.
According to an old legend the statue was carved by St Amator, who is identified with Zacchaeus, the tax collector of Jericho mentioned in Luke 19:1-10. The same legend reports that he was the husband of St Veronica, who wiped Jesus’ face on the way to Calvary, and that they preached the Gospel together in Gaul.
