<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 397298, member: 2844&quot;]I have been fascinated by the Dying Gaul statues ever since childhood. They are always such an impressive expression of a devastating moment and yet so beautiful.</p><p>Yes, I was a funny child.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I have always had the same with Thorvaldsen&#039;s dying Swiss lion, and Stefano Maderno&#039;s body of St Cecilia. I have seen them in &#039;real life&#039;, a few Dying Gaul statues as well, and they are very emotive.</p><p>For anyone who gets a chance to visit Rome, the modest Saint Cecilia convent and church in Trastevere is well worth a visit anyway. It is a place of tranquil beauty, away from the bustle of Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
