"Angelus cum Sudarium"

This black-and-white photograph from the Fragments of Light and Shadow collection features the "Angelus cum Sudarium" (Angel Carrying the Sudarium) statue on Rome's Ponte Sant'Angelo. The monochrome palette highlights the delicate details of the angel’s robes and solemn expression. Holding the Sudarium, or Veronica’s veil, with grace and reverence, the angel embodies a sense of profound spirituality. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the statue’s textures, lending an ethereal, timeless quality that draws the viewer into the scene.
