Unfurl the History of art and sculpture and your jaw drops every time. Who knew a huge piece of marble will become David, the Hero of all time?? The first visit to a foreign land gave me the opportunity to see David and I looked on, could not remove my eye for so long. How amazing & How beautiful!! I saw the art on the roof of Sistine Chapel, again my eyes couldn’t blink!! To me, Michelangelo unfurled the world of amazing joy and beauty.
There are so many sculptures to talk about. So many artworks by great people to savour about!
Let me tell you the few which I wish to see in my own eyes and touch with my own hands.
