 I have always had a passing interest in sculptures. Not the creating, far too difficult and protracted for me. But I've admired work and photographed it many times.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the gallery of David d'Angers in Angers, France.

Pierre Jean David as he was named was a 19th century sculpture of incredible talent. Having seen many of Michelangelo's sculptures work up close, I have to say that David's work is BETTER!

If anyone travels to the lovely city of Angers, seek out the gallery in an old church a short walk from Angers castle. The best 4 euros of the holiday!

On display are a range of his work from small to LARGE.

For example this statue with real people to compare....
