Staglieno Cimitero, Genoa, Italy

Black and white fine art photography exploring the deep connection between flesh and stone in myth and art as expressed in memorial art from around the world. Here an angel in repose weeps for humanity. Photographed in the Cimetero Monumentale di Staglieno in Genova Italy.
This angel is from the Ribaudo family tomb which was sculpted by Onorato Toso around 1910. A Bernard Pierre Wolff photograph of the tomb was used on the cover of the Joy Division's 12" single, Love Will Tear Us Apart.
