Description
Monumental Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in the Italian city of Milan. You could easily spend an entire day wandering through it, admiring the stunning and unique historic sculptures on display in this wonderfully peaceful outdoor art gallery. Pictured here is one that particularly caught my eye, atop a huge stone tomb, a very moving example of the pieta, a familiar subject in Christian art, showing the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ. I hand blended a little texture with my original vintage style photograph, to compliment the old world feel of this classic Italian cemetery scene.

This image intrigues me. The background gives it a surreal feel. And the shape of a man on the right....did you intend this when you took the photograph or was this an unintended addition... Either way, it further adds to the mystery of the work. I must go there if I'm ever in Milan again.
