Terracotta Drama
Just got home from an unexpected stay in hospital. I went for a deeper screening exam, and a few hours later I was in the operating theatre for something completely different that they picked up. We have a very good health service here in Northern Italy. So I will not be doing any photography for a while.
Here is some stuff from my last visit to Bologna with a sculptured group in terracotta depicting the Compianto su Cristo morto ("Lament over the Dead Christ"), by Alfonso Lombardi, of the early 16th century. The group can be found in the Cathedral, which is not the more more famous San Petronio. I like the way the figures change when you photograph them from different angles.
