Love & Charity.
This most lovely sculpture was a life-long obsession for Augustus. I found a link with more information on this work HERE
♫ :)PJ ♪
EDIT: Again, this is best seen full size or one over your size so you can see her lovingly carved face and that fertility belt :)Comments

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.

She much more attractive than a column. More shapely. Great post PJ and I'm learning something. She must be one of the Original "Golden Girls." Very nice post PJ and I'm liking the tour.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
I was hoping you would post a closer shot of this statue ~ she is a beauty. I love how the golden color just shines in the sunlight. Perfect angle too. Fantastic work PJ.

I'm glad too that you posted a closeup of this statue. It's totally enchanting. The lighting really shows it to its best. Beauteous capture, PJ. + faves
P.S. I wonder why most people are so attracted to golden tones?

I believe Saint-Gaudens picked the best words for the tablet. It pretty much says it all. All the titles rolled into two words...Love & Charity. I like the angle you chose for the shot. Nice work PJ! Thanks

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

WOW look at the detail in this statue...Beautiful shot Pat...gerry

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
It's pretty hard to show at an image a real good golden colour. Think the partly sunshine on the sculpture was helpfull to achieve this result. Very well done PJ. Regards, Cornelius

If I keep clicking on your links, and reading them, I might wind up educated or something. That's a scary thought. Your compositions are always perfect. This one is very nice. I love the way you included the greenery on the right. Super job.

Glad you gave us a close-up! No wonder he was obsessed, she's quite something. I hope she brought him love and compassion as she promises.

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
Marvelous use of light and shadows PJ and fantastic composition, this is one truly excellent image, well done my friend.
