Escorted to Heaven: The dead and the angels...

This Post is all about the belief that you're not going alone to heaven.

I've seen some fine examples at the Staglieno in Genoa and here's a seletion of the finest ones.

    Most of these are marble sculpture? Astounding detail.

    Yes they are. Especially the first one leaves you with a gaping mouth. Unbelievable level of detailling there.

    Martin,

    One of your images was
    on Tumblr and so I clicked
    the link and came to your
    blog.

    Oh my...
    such beauty and emotion.
    The light.
    The shadows.
    Those expressive faces.

    Would you be terribly upset if
    I pinned some of your images to my
    Angelology Board on Pinterest?

    I am an artist.
    Your images have inspired
    me to draw and paint them!

    Please say yes!!!

    They are also the warrior angels created to be completely loyal to God. Some believe that no Power has ever fallen from grace. psychic development
