Angelus cum Tunica et Aleae

"Angelus cum Tunica et Aleae"

This black-and-white photograph from the Fragments of Light and Shadow collection features the "Angelus cum Tunica et Aleae" (Angel Carrying the Garment) statue on Rome's Ponte Sant'Angelo. The monochrome effect accentuates the intricate folds of the angel’s robes and the serene expression on its face, creating a striking contrast of light and shadow. The angel holds the garment with grace, symbolizing a profound sense of reverence. The softly blurred background adds a timeless, ethereal quality that invites contemplation.
