I must stared at her for 30 minutes when I first saw her in person.

Wonderful essay on this magnificent sculpture. I think it stands out also because of where the Louvre curators have staged it. Standing alone on the stair landing you look up to it as you ascend the steps. To me, this enhances the mystery and beauty of it.

It was designed to. I still need to see it in person to feel it in reality. But this is my second most beautiful sculpture after the Pieta.

Wow, fantastic write up about this amazing sculpture, which gives us a look into the courageousness of humanity we've somehow lost. Bittersweet.
