Dawn

We remain speechless before the Michelangelo miracle of infusing life and feelings found in the classical models of faces. The pathetic mask of Roman portraits and Hellenistic sculpture follows ancient norms, in a solemn and ideal rhythm and the inwardness takes place in the gradual fine-tuning of the model, in the live substance and not in the lines of the figure.
