Birth of Mankind
Completed in 1982, Hart’s depiction of the birth of mankind is considered one of the most important commissions of religious sculpture in the 20th century. The tympanum above the central door features half-formed figures of men and women emerging from the void. Beneath stands the figure of Adam, his eyes not yet open and his body not fully freed from the surrounding stone. The north tympanum depicts the Creation of Day, and the south tympanum depicts the Creation of Night.
A frieze is a decorative band, usually above a doorframe or on the wall near the ceiling. I personally find them to be a true piece of artwork.
A truly elaborate piece of art that adorns on of America's most prominent Cathedrals.
Just like that, these words are done. Happy Saturday to all! Keep on Steemin!
I am not sure how it started, but I always put this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why my post doesn't look complete without it.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
WOW that Frieze is amazing the detail in it had my eyes roving all over it
The flowers are beautiful, and I love that sepia shot works so well for bridges like those two

That Ex Nihilo is a pretty good rendering of how it may have happened. But omg that sepia of the bridge Wow! I really love that shot. It is truly wall worth!!! So sweet with the clouds and all. It always makes my day to see you in the tags!
Oh it was very pretty out today, but sadly, pretty chilly as well. Glad you still have it nice there. Keep it that way!!! ;)
Thank you! I will catch a few more bridges in the next few weeks! Although, the hometown bridge is always the favorite. :)
It connects me with the Shore House.
It was really nice out today, sunny and all, but, if it turns cold, I will run away from home and go find somewhere nice. You know how I like to do that once in a while. :)
Thank you for stopping in and saying hello and i hope that tomorrow is a sun-shiney day for you!
Happy #SepiaSaturday!

Ah yes this post is triple attack! I didn’t know that’s what the door top sculptures were called. What a piece that is.
Loving those flowers is so essential to survival as a species with our beloved bees needing them.
Happy Saturday!

I learn something new here on Steemit every single day! I do!! I am glad I could show it to you!!! That makes my day! It is a stunning piece of sculpture work!
I am with you on that and the flowers... Our bees love them and need them for their survival. I would gladly keep planting if it will help them.
