Can you see this image of a body lovingly held? Does it remind you of the Michelangelo Pieta? in St Peter's in Rome? Well it is much older, it is from a 5th Century Temple in Athens. Of course, the techniques involved in sculpture are copied from generation to generation and images of man evolve through art and sculpture. The more interesting and moving thing is the essence which is captured again and again. Man's story in its heroism, its joys and its intense grief are depicted again and again. It is part of a movement to express something felt inwardly in every generation which comes out as image and word. Whatever we believe we are, what ever we meditate upon, will be expressed as the measure of that belief and meditation. See below for something that man has always loved! And still does!
