"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
Michelangelo
I took this picture at the Louvre in 2008. This sculpture was created between 1513 and 1516, it was to serve with another figure, the Rebellious Slave, at the tomb of Pope Julius II. Here I am, 500 years later admiring it ... this is the power of art.
