Église de la Madeleine



Église de la Madeleine


Created in marble by Turin-born sculptor Carlo (Charles) Marochetti in 1841
for this historic church, the subject is the "Ascension of Mary Magdelene."


The photo shows the artist's remarkable detail

I love details like this, Genie. And those candlesticks aren't too shabby, either.
