Compassion. Church of St Nicholas Diskmuide
Diksmuide was completely destroyed in WWI (and again in WW II) and rebuild afterwards, including the magnificent Church of St Nicholas (Sint-Niklaas) where this stunning sculpture resides.
Apart from the obvious religious connotations, this work seemed to me to encapsulate something of the compassion and grief that happened on so many levels in that dark period in history - befitting in a place that was so ravaged by war,.
