It´s All About Art

I saw it for the first time in my life last Eastern. Rome was a trip I had looked forward to for a long time, to me it meant something special. But once again, when I came back I just had the feeling of having been in a rush. I visited the Vatican Museums like shopping at Ikea. I almost collapsed in the Sistine Chapel. Can you believe that? I felt half asleep, and was even snoring with the distance noise of whispers and quick steps.

After walking all day long, I only had the chance of catching a quick glimpse of La Pietà. But I wouldl stand the mass in Latin again just for that brief moment.

My Art History teacher in COU said once that when she saw the David she couldn't help but crying. Well, I didn't have the time to shed a tear with this other piece, but I was moved. Though it's only a figure behind a glass surrounded by lots of tourists, everything about it is perfect. It is even difficult to believe that it was carved in marble. Both of them are extremely beautiful. This may sound sinful, but there is not such a sensual neck in the whole world.
Anyway, this is not what makes it so great, but the fact that the whole figure gives off solitude and deeply sadness. And somehow, you feel kind of identify with that mood. Just like I'm feeling tonight...Thanks God I have Paulina Rubio to cheer me up!! ;-)
