I have always had a passing interest in sculptures. Not the creating, far too difficult and protracted for me. But I've admired work and photographed it many times. I recently had the opportunity to visit the gallery of David d'Angers in Angers, France. Pierre Jean David as he was named was a 19th century sculpture of incredible talent. Having seen many of Michelangelo's sculptures work up close, I have to say that David's work is BETTER! If anyone travels to the lovely city of Angers, seek out the gallery in an old church a short walk from Angers castle. The best 4 euros of the holiday! On display are a range of his work from small to LARGE. For example this statue with real people to compare.... Attachment: F8AC8F7A-6228-451B-B7F1-32274174E2D9.jpeg (Downloaded 20 times)

The fine detail in the accoutrements was also outstanding.... (Even when the software rotates the image!!) Attachment: E0B0391B-2B90-4E02-889F-07FD6C41CD4E.jpeg (Downloaded 18 times)

It's interesting as the detail is so good you can actually see what 19th century people looked like. Here's Paganini... Attachment: EBC8EF58-6CA6-44BF-92C9-263E9D928F79.jpeg (Downloaded 17 times)

Of course there are amusing photo opportunities even in a gallery. This serious young man was wandering around to keep an eye on people, to ensure they don't run off with a 3ton statue or carve 'Eric was ere 2018' on the works of art...he was always close at hand. So I immortalised him alongside his charges...the great and the good of the 1800s.... Attachment: 3416FC50-B335-4C70-B62B-AB1FEB78F93A.jpeg (Downloaded 18 times)

Not the best statue, and I couldn't reach the cobwebs, but I liked the lighting and background.... Attachment: 0FC9307E-E642-40A6-8230-7622866900A3.jpeg (Downloaded 19 times)

Very impressive Eric, and we think we are clever! There are many fine examples of craftsmanship around the world which can only be wondered at. We tend to say that with all our technology we can't achieve that level of skill, I would turn that around and consider that perhaps BECAUSE of all the technology we are loosing hands on skills.

Although we are artists, so to speak, I have never considered photography, media and cinematography to be on the same level as sculpting, carving and painting. Our finished product isn't as 3D, tactile or influenced by modelling light. Like I said....I'm too impatient to labour for days and days for my end product. That's why I created so many Actions in Photoshop.

Forgot to say, his small relief work was also superb. Here's one that might interest our American members... Attachment: 29C92348-F0FB-45E7-A69E-13FAAB5FFFF0.jpeg (Downloaded 18 times)
