My friends, I greatly enjoyed all the sculptures you posted. From Egypt now I will make you jump in full Renaissance period, by sharing with you this Statue by Michelangelo, which I have admired today during our 4 hour tour in the center of Rome discovering (or rediscovering!) incredibly beautiful Renaissance buildings, paintings and sculptures.

I loved this Risen Christ by Michelangelo. Our guide said (and we could see this too) that this Statue lacks the enormous tension and energy of others by Michelangelo (Moses for example), it expresses PEACE, all is done, there is total absence of anxiety. Christ has overcome the cross. I don't like the "piece of cloth" in a different material, which seems added in a different moment. This Statue is in the Church of St. Mary above Minerva, which is an incredibly beautiful Church too.

Love, Margherita
