Going through some pictures of our travels through Italy that I am trying to rescue from a archived CD I came across some that I have never used previously or have used in a different format, either as part of a heading or a collage. I thought they should shine in their own right. These were taken at Vatican City. You can also see more Vatican images by clicking here.
A quiet gallery off a busy walkway with marble horses and several other statues.
Perseus with the head of Madusa.
Delicate sculptures above an entrance door to a gallery.
Artimes with her many breasts. Indian inspired Greek art work.
A Bronze Herculus. Not many bronze artwork from the Roman or pre-Roman period survived the smelter's oven. There is another rare bronze of Herculus in the Capitoline Museums. (look out for it in another post soon.)
I am not sure about this piece, but I think it is Apollo.
A magnificent detailed frieze against one of the gallery walls.
