This photo shows a room filled with statues. In the center stands a large, muscular figure holding a sword and a severed head. The statue is on a fancy pedestal covered in carved leaves and small figures. Around it, other statues sit on shelves, some draped in cloth, others bare. The photo itself is old, taken in the late 1800s by Fratelli Alinari. Notice how the lighting makes the statues look dramatic, with shadows adding depth. Check out Fratelli Alinari to see more of their work.
