Angelus cum Flagello

"Angelus cum Fragello"

Part of the Fragments of Light and Shadow collection, this monochromatic photograph captures the serene beauty of the "Angelus cum Fragello" (Angel Carrying the Scourge) statue on Rome’s Ponte Sant'Angelo. The black-and-white tones emphasize the intricate details of the angel's flowing robes and gentle expression. With wings spread and the scourge held delicately, the angel exudes both strength and grace. The contrast between the weathered stone and the statue’s smooth features creates a timeless and contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers into a moment of quiet reverence.
