Il y en a des centaines, des milliers!
~~
There are statues everywhere in Rome: in the streets, in the churches, in the yards, in the museums, on the terraces, in the gardens, in the fountains..
There are hundreds, thousends of them!
Elles peuvent être grandes ou petites, célèbres ou inconnues, être l'oeuvre d'un artiste célèbre ou d'un anonyme...
~~
They may be tall or small, famous or not, made by a well known artist or by a unknown one..
Elles représentent des dieux, ou des gens qui ont existé, célèbres ou pas, des scènes de l'histoire la plus réelle ou tirées de la mythologie, parfois de la littérature..
~~
They show gods, or people who existed, wether they are famous or not, they show pieces of real history or of mythology, sometimes of litterature..
Certaines vous font monter les larmes aux yeux..
~~
Some bring tears to your eyes..
Choisir seulement quelques photos a été la chose la plus difficile à faire..
~~
To choose only a few pictures to show was the most difficult thing to do for me..
Il y a tant de force, tant de beauté, tant de puissance dans chacune de ces statues!
~~
There is so much strengh, so much beauty, so much power in each of those statues!
Il y a derrière chacune d'elles tant d'histoire, tant de siècles, tant de temps..
~~
Behind each statue, there is so much history, so much centuries, so much time..
Elles portent en elles la grandeur d'une civilisation, elles disent tout un monde perdu..
~~
They are carrying the greatness of a civilisation, they are telling a whole lost world..
Leur beau regard immobile à jamais figé dans la pierre nous fixe , nous regarde les regarder, puis semble nous suivre lorsque nous quittons les lieux..
~~
Their beautyful and forever still glance are looking at us looking at them, then it seems they follow us when we are living..

Merci Malyss pour cette magnifique visite guidée et pour tous ces fabuleux trésors que tu rapportes avec toi de ton récent voyage!!!
Bonne soirée et à demain
I enjoyed viewing all the statues you shared BUT I am not so sure I would like to see them daily everywhere.
So may statues - and so little time to see them all. No wonder you took so many pictures so that you can enjoy them now.
PS I might have taken even more ;-)
These statues are interesting and beautiful. I like your philosophical thoughts about the statues remaining even when we're gone. The next time I see a classical statue or painting I will probably think of that.
Wonderful statues.
I think they have talked something universal so long time.
So glad that you directed me here... I may put a "stone faces" label on today's post and then continue as I show new ones... Merci! Yours are lovely and this one is my favorite.
Bisous,
Genie
