The beautiful angel of the Oneto tomb in Staglieno Cemetery , Genoa, my photo repurposed in the Ukrainian flag colours.
"The statue was sculpted in 1882 by Giulio Monteverde (1837-1917), born in Piedmont, and art critics agree it marks a shift in the way the figure of the angel was conceived in 19th-century art: instead of the Christian image of an otherworldly guide for souls arriving in Paradise, it represents an individual with his own doubts and uncertainties. Lost, this angel doesn’t know where to go anymore, and has stopped to think – in a limbo between life and death."
