Here is the famous statue called the "Fallen Angel"in the Miracles Square (Piazza dei Miracoli) in Pisa. Was created by: Igor Mitoraj a Polish artist born in Germany. He is best known for his fragmented sculptures of the human body.
This statue is near the Leaning Tower of Piza. You have to see this in person to view the whole thing from all angles.
Hope you are enjoying our holiday in Tuscany and I'm not tiring you out with all the images.
Trying to comment on images, Thanks for you patience and friendship. Have a beautiful day.
Comments most welcomed and thanks in advance if you choose to do so.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Even the plaque identifying the sculpture is embedded in the ground at a slight angle. Nice pairing and display. The patina he applied to it makes it look like it's ancient, almost a match for the one he has in Pompeii, another fallen angel but not quite so smashed. Now are you sure this guy wasn't just flying around Pisa one day, looking for a good pizza place, when he spots this little hottie on a Vespa? He's so entranced by the way her hair is flowing out the back, in the breeze, that he's distracted and loses track of where he is... but wait! He senses... he feels... no! He KNOWS that he's about to run smack into a 186-foot, eight-story, freestanding bell tower, that will one day become the main reason 4th grade schoolchildren in Akron, Ohio, will know the name Pisa well (but the third kid in the first row will still confuse it with "Pizza")! Tickets and guided tour reservations are available... book now and skip the line. Are you sure that's not how it happened? Maybe you should go back and study the obverse side of his head and that tower thingy to see if there's matching impact craters on both? I mean... look at his head... he must have hit something!
Just a thought. (oh, and I like your photo... it's almost like we're on vacation with you :o)
(Just a laugh--just for you, Pat). Happy Trails

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
A good sculpture...Well taken...R.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
That would cause quite a bit of a panic if it really did fall from a height eh!....Great architecture and well captured

You may have been right, Pat, but I like to say however that this very fine photograph provides us with an excellent impression.
Love your Italian series. Although I'm 72 years young, I'm still very vital for not being tired by viewing all your other Italian images, so let the come, my friend. Thanks anyhow for this one!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
An amazing sculpture Pat - I imagine it's quite impressive when seen in person - keep those Tuscany images coming - Absolutely Great Capture!!!!!!!
