Michelangelo in Palermo.

At the Royal Palace in Palermo, a statue of Christ sculpted by Michelangelo Buonarroti is on display. The great artist never finished the statue because it was marred by a strip of black marble across its face, barely visible to the layman, but it was enough for Michelangelo to abandon the sculpture. A magnificence of absolute perfection.
