This is a beautiful statue in a stunning location. It is in a large atrium lit by daylight coming in through a glass ceiling. What makes it more dramatic is that you approach it from the side, from darker galleries, so you first see it through a darkened archway. I thought that added to the image, but then decided it was distracting, and I cropped it out. I love the silhouettes of the two men looking at the statue. This is "Perseus with the head of Medusa" by Antonio Canova, and it was carved in Rome between 1804-1806. Oh, I was on the roof all day, so didn't have a chance to shoot anything.
