Angelo del Ponte - Angel with Veil -7 inches

Product Description

If you've ever been to Rome, or maybe just viewed all the lovely photographs of the Eternal City's landmarks, the Ponte S. Angelo surely stands out as one of the most recognizable. The principal bridge of Rome, it was dedicated by the Emperor Hadrian as a link between his mausoleum and the city of Rome in 134 A.D. Since that time, it has played an important role as the major gateway to the Vatican, a significant point along the routes of pilgrims and processions. The bridge is renowned today primarily because of the work of famed painter, sculptor and architect Bernini, who adorned the bridge from 1667-72 with larger-than-life angels carrying the instruments of Christ's Passion. Now you can enjoy the beauty of these masterpiece angels in your own home, thanks to the artistry of the popular Joseph's Studio. The Angel with Veil is shown here, made of lightweight resin/stone mix, in a beautifully-detailed ivory finish, 7"H.
