Today I am featuring this magnificent piece of art in the park.
This giant sculpture Tindaro Screpolato by Igor Mitoraj is found in Florence's Giardino di Boboli. It is a massive bronze disembodied head which contrasts and compliments the lush and green surroundings in the garden in the heart of the city.
It is an imposing feature but one that naturally draws people to it, people sit in its shadow or stand and look up in awe. The size of this work seems to represent strength while the cracked features suggest fragility and decay.
There are many sculptures in the gardens and I will share more images of some of them in due course but I think this is my favourite. Whatever angle you view it from it is so impressive.
