St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter's Basilica
This is my favorite sculpture in St. Peter's. It is the tomb of Pope Alexander VII. Not only does it have marble that is so finely sculpted to look like cloth, it also has the message to get on with things as you only have a certain amount of time on earth. I'm not sure that's what the sculptor meant, but that's what I get from it.
