I cherish this image probably not because of my Christian background but because of the immediacy it projects. The sculpture is just superb with the red scarf, directing our attention to the prominent features, which contrasted so vividly with the blue column behind; the delicate lines of her fingers, and the crossing of her arms as a pivot, interwoven so well with the curving columns in the background all pointing to Heaven; and the whole sculpture is so neatly placed on top of a golden triangular stage etc. Having spent insufficient time on Michelangelo, Henry Moore or Rodin, somehow I find this one to be more enchanting or even mesmerizing...
"Great perspective on a fascinating and mystical religious art work. A powerful and expressive image. "
