Yuri Gagarin statue

One of the great national heros of the Soviet Union and now of Russia was Yuri Gagarin. After his 1961 space fight, he was greeted by thousands of cheering Muscovites in what was then called Kaluzhskoy Zastavy Square. Seven years later the square was renamed in his honor, and in 1980, a monument (shown below) was erected; a titanium statue of Gagarin standing at the top of a tall column.

David sculpture Michelangelo

david-statue-michelangelo-florence-italy

In full MICHELANGELO DI LODOVICO BUONARROTI SIMONI (b. March 6, 1475, Caprese, Republic of Florence [Italy]--d. Feb. 18, 1564, Rome), Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, and poet who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art.
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
-- Michelangelo, quoted in Vasari's Lives of the Artists
David
Gigantic marble, started in 1501 and completed in 1504
Michelangelo began work on the colossal figure of David in 1501, and by 1504 the sculpture (standing at 4.34m/14 ft 3 in tall) was in place outside the Palazzo Vecchio. The choice of David was supposed to reflect the power and determination of Republican Florence and was under constant attack from supporters of the usurped Medicis. In the 19th century the statue was moved to the Accademia.

Amazing 3D Sidewalk Art

The Artist Faces Himself

How did he know how he looks from the side? I bet he asked someone to take his picture in that position. And one little interesting detail – the beer on the left is real, not on the right.

Someone has to punish him for ruining the public property!

Eiffel Tower Sand-Sculpture

Look closely at the tip of the Tower – there are a couple standing on it. I hate the bench behind them, because it’s ruining the picture.
