And also for the church of the Frari, in Venice, where this angel can be found. Not sure about the symbolism here, but I do wonder what's supposed to be in that urn. I'd say ashes, except that I believe that when this was created, the Catholic Church didn't exactly condone cremation. [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |

Not sure myself. But I love the friezes you can find in Italy and other European countries.

She looks so vibrant, I can hardly conceive of her holding an urn of ashes. I would rather think of her as trying to urn a living.
ReplyDeleteon a winter's day, that frieze might be freezing
