On the southern coast of Gran Canaria, at the serene Melenara Beach in Telde, the awe-inspiring statue of Neptune (Poseidon) commands attention.

Created by renowned sculptor Luis Arencibia, this four-meter-tall bronze masterpiece merges mythology with the tranquil beauty of the island’s coastline. Perched on a volcanic rock, Neptune gazes out over the Atlantic, embodying the eternal bond between the sea and its people.

Luis Arencibia’s deep connection to the ocean began in his youth.

As a boy, he swam to the very volcanic rock that now serves as Neptune’s throne. Decades later, his vision gave rise to this iconic sculpture, allowing the god of the sea to keep watch over his watery kingdom. Melenara Beach, with its fine volcanic sand, calm waters, and ever-present sun, serves as a fitting home for this magnificent work of art.

This statue is more than just a tribute to the mythical god—it’s a symbol of Gran Canaria’s heritage. It reflects the islanders’ relationship with the sea, shaping their history, culture, and daily lives. Visitors to Melenara Beach can marvel at this timeless creation while soaking in the peaceful surroundings of a place where land and ocean meet in perfect harmony.

Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed (30 Photos)

I love stumbling upon art that feels like a hidden gem—those incredible sculptures that stop you in your tracks and make you wonder, “How did I not know this existed?”
From massive figures seemingly rising from the earth to intricate works that play with gravity, these sculptures redefine what’s possible. Join me on a journey through 30 of the most amazing sculptures around the world, each with its own story and artistry that you probably didn’t know was out there. More: Sculptures With True Creativity (12 Photos)
1. The Statue of King Arthur, located in Tintagel, England, is a striking bronze sculpture by artist Rubin Eynon.
Erected in 2016, this statue stands on the cliffs of Tintagel Castle, a site steeped in Arthurian legend. The sculpture, named “Gallos” (meaning “power” in Cornish), depicts a cloaked and crowned King Arthur holding his sword, with his body appearing to merge with the landscape. This artwork symbolizes the enduring power and mystery of the Arthurian legends that are deeply rooted in the area. More like this: 9 Amazing sculptures by Bruno Catalano: Fragmented travelers
2. Albert György’s sculpture, Melancholy, captures the emptiness left by grief.
As John Maddox eloquently states, “We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before… but this emptiness is how we all feel… all the time.”
3. Christ of the Abyss is an extraordinary bronze statue created by Guido Galletti in 1954.
This unique piece rests on the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Submerged beneath the azure waters, it continues to captivate divers and visitors with its serene and mystical presence.
4. This colossal sculpture was created nearly 450 years ago by Flemish sculptor Giambologna as a symbol of Italy’s Apennine mountains. Standing at nearly 14 meters (45 ft) tall, it was commissioned by Francesco de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1579.
Positioned above a pond, the statue features a chamber in its head where Francesco would sit and fish at night. When a fire was lit inside, the Colossus’s eyes glowed red, and smoke billowed from its nostrils, creating a striking visual effect.

5. The Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.
This 30-meter (98 ft) tall statue, with arms stretching 28 meters (92 ft) wide, overlooks the city, symbolizing peace and welcoming all with open arms. Completed in 1931 and designed by French sculptor Paul Landowski and Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, it has become a symbol of Christianity around the globe and an enduring image of Brazil.

6. Not the most amazing statue, but definitely an amazing story. In Istanbul, Turkey, they made a statue to honor the famous stray cat (Tombili) that used to sit in this position and watch the passers by.
One month after its installation the sculpture went missing. A comment from Turkey MP Tuncay Özkan: “They stole the Tombili statue. They are enemies of everything beautiful. All they know is hate, tears and war”. The statue was safely returned a short time later. More photos here.
7. This eagle sculpture is the world’s largest bird statue, created by Indian artist Rajiv Anchal.
Located at Jatayu Earth’s Center in Kerala, India, the sculpture took a decade to complete. Spanning 200 feet in length, 150 feet in width, and 70 feet in height, this colossal work of art depicts the mythical eagle Jatayu from the Indian epic, Ramayana.
8. This stunning marble sculpture, Ajax and Cassandra, was crafted in 2022 by renowned Italian contemporary artist Jago.
The piece beautifully captures the dramatic moment between the Greek hero Ajax and the Trojan priestess Cassandra.
9. Sendai Daikannon in Japan, the eighth-tallest statue in the world at 100 meters (330 ft).
Its serene, watchful presence overlooks the quiet urban landscape, creating a striking contrast between its massive spiritual form and the everyday city life below.
10. The great challenge by Nicolas Lavarenne. Antibes, French Riviera.
This striking bronze sculpture depicts a dynamic, elongated figure balancing on the edge of a cliff, arms outstretched as if preparing to leap into the vast blue sea below.
11. This is how the Statue of Unity in India looks like. It’s the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it’s nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.
This monumental statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a key leader in India’s independence, stands on a massive platform with an observation deck, emphasizing its grandeur and scale.
12. This sculpture by Bruno Catalano
Portrays the profound emptiness experienced by migrants as they depart from their homeland—leaving their loved ones and their community behind—in pursuit of a better life: More: 9 Fragmented travelers – Amazing sculptures by Bruno Catalano
13. The incredible statue of Neptune (Poseidon) in Gran Canaria, Spain
Statue of Neptune (Poseidon) in Gran Canaria, Spain, standing powerfully against the waves with a trident in hand. This impressive sculpture captures the mythical god of the sea in a commanding pose, evoking themes of strength and the majesty of the ocean. More: The incredible ocean statue of Neptune (Poseidon) in Gran Canaria, Spain
14. Leshan Giant Buddha in China (800 AD) At 71 meters (233 ft) tall, this is the tallest pre-modern statue on Earth.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is carved into the cliffside in Leshan, Sichuan, China, overlooking the convergence of three rivers.
15. Close-up views of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble statue of David, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.
The dynamic sculpture captures the biblical hero mid-action, winding up to sling a stone. Bernini’s David is depicted with intense focus, furrowed brows, and clenched lips, conveying determination. The statue’s muscular arms and detailed hands grip the twisted ropes of the sling, showcasing Bernini’s skill in portraying tension and movement in marble. This statue contrasts Michelangelo’s famous David by capturing the hero in the midst of battle rather than in a calm, contemplative stance.
16. The Kiss of Death is a marble sculpture made in 1930 and found in Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona.
This emotionally intense sculpture is renowned for its depiction of the delicate boundary between life and death, symbolized by Death’s kiss.
17. The Weight of Thought, bronze sculptures by Thomas Lerooy.
18. Victor Noir’s grave in Père-Lachaise cemetery, created by Patrick Magaud in 1984, has gained fame not for Noir’s journalistic work but for the legend surrounding his death and burial site.
Noir was a journalist shot dead, and his grave features a full-sized bronze statue of him lying down, as if recently shot. Over time, the statue became a fertility symbol. Legend has it that kissing the statue on the lips, leaving a flower in Victor’s hat, and rubbing the genital area enhances fertility, improves one’s sex life, or helps find a husband within a year. This has led to the lips and trousers’ bulge on the statue becoming noticeably shiny from repeated contact. In 2004, a fence was erected around the grave to prevent this practice, but public protest led to its removal. Victor Noir’s grave remains one of the most visited and talked-about monuments in Père-Lachaise.
19. The amazing handkerchief detail in this marble statue made by French sculptor Louis Philippe Mouchy in 1781.
Featuring a highly realistic handkerchief carved to appear as delicate lace, draped around the neck of the figure. The sculpture captures the fine details of the lacework, folds, and textures, showcasing Mouchy’s skill in replicating soft fabrics in hard marble, a testament to his mastery of the medium. The statue also displays the figure’s elaborate curls and formal attire, highlighting the elegance and refinement typical of 18th-century French sculpture.
20. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a renowned Baroque sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome.
This intricate marble sculpture depicts Saint Teresa of Ávila in a moment of religious ecstasy, her face expressing both pain and bliss as an angel holds a golden spear poised above her. Radiant golden rays crafted from gilded bronze descend from above, symbolizing divine light and adding dramatic intensity to the scene.
21. Luo Li Rong is a contemporary artist renowned for crafting hyper-realistic clay and bronze sculptures.
22. The Dignity statue in South Dakota, a stunning 50-foot-tall sculpture of a Native American woman draped in a star quilt.
The statue features a blend of metal and vibrant blue diamond shapes that catch the light, symbolizing the cultural heritage and spirit of the Lakota and Dakota people. The woman’s expression is serene, with her arms outstretched as if embracing the landscape around her.
24. Freedom Sculpture, Philadelphia
“I wanted to create a sculpture almost anyone, regardless of their background, could look at and instantly recognize that it is about the idea of struggling to break free. This sculpture is about the struggle for achievement of freedom through the creative process” — Zenos Frudakis:
25. The vision of Constantine by Bernini is arguably one of the most underrated sculpture in art history.
Gian Lorenzo revolutionized the art form by infusing unprecedented movement into stone.
26. The Mud Maid by Sue Hill, located in the Lost Garden of Heligan, Cornwall, UK.
Depending on the time of the year, the mud maid’s hair and clothes change when the seasonal plants and moss grow over the sculpture. More: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill (5 photos and video).
27. Departure, a stunning bronze sculpture by artist George Lundeen, highlighted by the frost.
The sculpture is subtly highlighted by a layer of frost, enhancing the scene with a sense of cold and quiet intimacy, as if capturing a moment of departure or waiting.
28. The Resting Boxer, crafted more than 2,000 years ago, is one of the most realistic sculptures ever made and one of the finest examples of bronze sculptures to have survived from the ancient world.
It was excavated in Rome in 1885. Its incredible features, such as its pose, gaze, broken nose, cauliflower ears, scarred face, and bruised eyes, have been enchanting the world ever since.
30. The mesmerizing details of The West Wind, a surreal marble sculpture by American artist Thomas Ridgeway Gould.
Gould’s masterpiece likely drew inspiration from Percy Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind,” in which the west wind serves as an allegory for the cyclical nature of change and revolution:

“Innocence in Bloom” in Ronda, Spain for Ayuntamiento Ronda Cultura.

Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: The image of this mural conveys a message of hope and optimism. The girl looking at the flowers shows that despite the challenges and difficulties we face in life, there is always something beautiful and positive that can inspire and motivate us to keep moving forward. The flowers in the mural symbolize the natural beauty that exists in the world and the need to protect and preserve it. The girl, with her innocent and curious gaze, represents the purity and simplicity of childhood, and the importance of protecting and caring for the future of children and the planet.

More photos here.

579810

“Garden Swallow” in Ronda, Andalucia. Spain.

Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: The “Garden Swallow” mural is a beautiful work of art that conveys a very profound message about the connection between nature and humans. In the mural, a child surrounded by pots of flowers holds a swallow in his hand, and both look at each other with deep tenderness.

The image of the mural represents the harmony that exists between human beings and nature, in this case, between the child and the swallow. The presence of the swallow in the child’s garden also conveys a message about the importance of these animals in controlling mosquito and other insect pests, and the need to protect their nests and habitat.

In addition, the mural also reflects the symbolism that swallows have in popular culture, especially in Andalusian patios, where they are considered a symbol of eternal love and respect for the couple. The image of the child with the swallow transmits a message of love and respect towards nature and the living beings that inhabit it.

579812

“Raices” in Algeciras, Spain for Asociación RecreArte.

Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: In this beautiful mural titled ‘Raíces’, the eternal legacy of Andalusian flamenco that transcends generations is represented. In the center of the composition, a girl with a deep look and full of passion, hugs her guitar with devotion and dedication. Her fingers, Like dancing petals, they caress the strings, releasing melodies impregnated with sentiment and ancestral experience.

Around her, exquisitely displayed pink flowers intertwine with the air, symbolizing the beauty and delicacy of flamenco. These flowers, as symbols of the Andalusian land, are a tribute to the flamenco artists born in Algeciras, who, with their talent and passion, have left an indelible mark on the art world.

The ‘Raíces’ mural captures the very essence of flamenco, that magical connection that is transmitted from generation to generation, like an ancestral whisper that resonates in every chord and every beat. It is a tribute to the strength and power of music, capable of moving us and transporting us to deep places of the soul, reminding us of our roots and our cultural identity.

May this work endure over time as a living symbol of the greatness and passion of Andalusian flamenco, and as a tribute to those artists who have left an indelible legacy in Algeciras and in the world of flamenco art.

579814

“Swallows” in Casablanca, Morocco for Casamouja.

Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: Swallows represent respect, love and fidelity, they are migratory birds, which usually migrate to Africa, that’s why I chose to paint them here in Casablanca, the almond flowers, makes the swallows stand out more.

I decided to paint the background with Arab tiles, and turquoise, white and reddish color’s, in tribute to the “Hassan II Mosque” (the second largest in the world) that was near the mural.

579816

“Fragile Balance” in Estepona, Spain.

Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: According to data from the Specialized System for Reporting Cases of School Violence (Siseve) from the Ministry of Education, a total of 20,604 bullying reports were recorded nationwide between 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 alone.
This is what the mural is about.

In it, we see a teenage girl climbing a staircase toward the moon, which shines brightly and illuminates the entire scene.
The moon represents everything the girl has dreamed of.
She wants to reach it—like we all do—but she’s carrying a heavy backpack: filled with insults, rejection, fear, loneliness…

And how will her story end?

On one hand, the girl might reach her goals thanks to the help she receives after her bullying case becomes known.
On the other hand, she might not make it. The weight of her backpack is so heavy that it throws off her balance, and she can’t reach her destination.

With this, I aim to reflect the internal struggle faced by those experiencing bullying, highlighting the importance of offering support—before the weight becomes too much to bear.

EFIX’s Clever Art (9 Photos)

EFIX is a street artist from France who turns ordinary city spaces into fun and creative works of art.

He mixes famous characters from pop culture with clever designs that use parts of the city, like pipes and walls. His art surprises and entertains people walking by. Imagine Lisa Simpson playing a golden pipe as a saxophone or R2-D2 offering flowers to a trash can—that’s the kind of humor and creativity EFIX brings to the streets.

What makes EFIX’s art special is how he cares for the environment.

He uses biodegradable materials like paper and glue made from sugar and flour. His art is meant to fade away naturally, leaving no damage behind. This makes his work temporary but unforgettable.
EFIX is inspired by skateboarding, which helps him see city spaces as places for creativity and fun.

He uses everyday objects like railings, pipes, or bushes to make his art come alive. His goal is to help people look at their surroundings in a new, playful way and to bring out their inner child. For news about him and his artworks follow him on Instagram and visit his website!
Here are some of EFIX’s coolest works:
1.
Mario running away from Ninja Turtles sliding down pipes.
2.
R2-D2 giving flowers to a trash can.
3.
Lisa Simpson playing a pipe saxophone.
4.
A firefighter from The Simpsons humorously smoking next to a real fire extinguisher.
5.
Marge Simpson’s hair made from a real bush.
6.

#Palestinian films to show instead of Eurovision in Slovenia

#Slovenia has vowed to show Palestinian films instead of #Eurovision as it joined a host of other countries planning to #boycott Eurovision this year over the participation of #Israel

The competition, featuring 35 nations, is scheduled to take place in Vienna from May 12 until 16, but this year, it has the lowest number of sign-ups since 2003

The low level of participation comes as a reaction to Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel to compete; Slovenia, #Ireland, #Spain, the #Netherlands, #Iceland have already expressed their intention to boycott the event.

This is my home

Oh no, this is my home:

Ot this?

Or this:

Or anywhere I can go with the motorhome.

For the past year I've been living in a motorhome. And my life changed so much. At times I love it, at times I am stressed and tired. But overall I think is the best life I can afford to live in today's society. I will make a video about this and about many things for our RideWithLess Peertube channel https://videos.trom.tf/c/ridewithless/videos

TOP 6 Places we visited in Spain with the motorhome! - https://videos.trom.tf/w/iuFvWGXte95NeiZTDDzi6Q

We discovered so many amazing nature places in Spain: caves, mountains, lakes, or deserts. We avoid being motorhome-tourists, following the same path as most people with motorhomes do. We avoid big cities and crowded places and often find nature places by simply exploring digital maps to find hidden gems.

The most mindblowing cave! - https://videos.trom.tf/w/hNQGWL9YRHyQ2E4zPRQTGi

The Nerja cave in Spain is perhaps one of the most amazing caves in Spain. It is huge and people used to live there thousands of years ago. Scientists found cave paintings, human bones, and even evidence that around the same time cave hyenas lived there too. In the cave it is the largest formation of stalactites in the world measuring around 32 meters.

This was such a mindblowing experience for us, it is hard to showcase the immensity of it and uniqueness in a video or photos. We were also able to get in there for free.

So there is a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal right now. No phone service, no Internet, no "modern" life 😁. The cause is unknown - https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/28/spain-portugal-and-parts-of-france-hit-by-massive-power-outage

What is funny is that we are in the mountains in spain with our TROMhome and we had no clue about any of these. We are fully offgrid in terms of power.

We have lots of solar panels, enough batteries, and satellite internet. So we are all good.

Perhaps we are indeed ready for an apocalypse. Waiting for it here in Picos de Europa 😀

But yah, interesting this happened. Likely no "mysterious" cause. Keep an eye on the updates here - https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

We visited for free this amazing cave. I think it has the tallest formation of stalactites in the world. 32 meters.

There are people in these photos if you look carefully 😁

In this care there were people living some 25.000 years ago. Nuts! And cave hyenas. And they discovered cave paintings there that could be the oldest in all human species history, some 42.000 years ago made by Neanderthals. But still they need to confirm this.

The Nerja Cave - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caves_of_Nerja

This is me down there...

Mind blowing experience. You have to visit this cave if you can. Put it on your bucked list. The photos do no justice to how amazing the experience was. And from 9:30 every day they provide free tickets if you manage to book them.

Fantastic!

Of course we will make a video about this for our TROMhome channel - https://videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/videos

I think if I lived 678 years I would never get bored and I would have new projects to do all the time. I feel like I want to do a lot. And I do a lot every day, but the days are too short for my motivation and drive. The weeks, the months, are flying by so fast. The years, still more ahead than behind, but soon they will balance, and then you'll ride the ones ahead. But it's all about making the best of this ride, even tho too short.

This year we have a motorhome, very little money, and a lot of plans.

Make sure you follow us on Peertube https://videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/videos - we will go chase the darkest skies in Spain, meet with some wonderful friends from the project, volunteer, and do a lot.

We now have a Wishlist for our TROMhome project because we are broke and if anyone wants to help they can directly do so. Here https://tromhome.com/#wishlist

For example we need to put a satellite dish (a Starlink Mini) so that I can keep our servers updated, do backups, upload our TROMjaro ISOs from the middle of nowhere, and in general be available online to help with the TROM projects. We need it specifically for my work on TROM.

So if anyone can help we have a GoFundMe for it https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-satellite-internet-dish (450 Euros). I hate that they are putting satellites into the orbit, but we have no better option in Europe. The monthly fee of 72 Euros is also gigantic for us, but again I need an unlimited Internet access...

If anyone can help that'd be fantastic. If not is ok we will buy it eventually.

Thank you in advance! 😀

Putting our first solar panels! https://videos.trom.tf/w/eFaTmRTaSVtbKJ2CHRL6MB

We put 260W of solar panels on the roof and connected them to our Bluetti AC180. And we had to do part of it in the dark.

We post only on @PeerTube despite getting a lot less views there, for now, than we would on Youtube. But we need to create new/original content on Peertube if we are to make it more popular.

On top of that I love Peertube. No ads, no bullshit. Just a sane video platform.

Yeah I see no problem with this....

(source)

If the "authorities" are worried that children watch too much porn and these kids then try to porn-themselves-out for pleasure, causing issues since they don't understand that most porn is fake, then for sure forcing people to verify their age when accessing some porn websites will make these kids think twice before accessing any of the millions of worldwide porn websites....

How about you make the life of kids, and people overall, more relaxing? How about you don't force the kids to go to school and parents to go to work, just to survive? Maybe if people were to be more "free" and have time to learn about the world, to have fun, to establish relationships and not wo

#Palestine / Spain’s prime minister says he will propose that parliament recognizes a Palestinian state

[…] “I will propose granting #Spain’s recognition to the Palestinian state, […] I do this out of moral conviction, for a just cause and because it is the only way that the two states, Israel and #Palestine, can live together in peace.”

[…] Spain demanded “respect for international law from Russia, and from Israel, for the violence to end, the recognition of two states, and for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.”

Pedro Sánchez follows #France’s Macron and #UK’s Cameron, who signaled their country’s interest in promoting a similar initiative.

An evening photo of a medieval fortification tower. This sits on the plaza mayor in Caceres, Spain. It is lit with artificial light, and the stones that compose it give it great texture and tonal variety. There is a cloud above that produces an odd effect.

On the southern coast of Gran Canaria, at the serene Melenara Beach in Telde, the awe-inspiring statue of Neptune (Poseidon) commands attention.

Luis Arencibia’s deep connection to the ocean began in his youth.

What do you think of this incredible statue?

Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed (30 Photos)

I love stumbling upon art that feels like a hidden gem—those incredible sculptures that stop you in your tracks and make you wonder, “How did I not know this existed?”

1. The Statue of King Arthur, located in Tintagel, England, is a striking bronze sculpture by artist Rubin Eynon.

2. Albert György’s sculpture, Melancholy, captures the emptiness left by grief.

3. Christ of the Abyss is an extraordinary bronze statue created by Guido Galletti in 1954.

4. This colossal sculpture was created nearly 450 years ago by Flemish sculptor Giambologna as a symbol of Italy’s Apennine mountains. Standing at nearly 14 meters (45 ft) tall, it was commissioned by Francesco de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1579.

5. The Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.

6. Not the most amazing statue, but definitely an amazing story. In Istanbul, Turkey, they made a statue to honor the famous stray cat (Tombili) that used to sit in this position and watch the passers by.

7. This eagle sculpture is the world’s largest bird statue, created by Indian artist Rajiv Anchal.

8. This stunning marble sculpture, Ajax and Cassandra, was crafted in 2022 by renowned Italian contemporary artist Jago.

9. Sendai Daikannon in Japan, the eighth-tallest statue in the world at 100 meters (330 ft).

10. The great challenge by Nicolas Lavarenne. Antibes, French Riviera.

11. This is how the Statue of Unity in India looks like. It’s the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it’s nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.

12. This sculpture by Bruno Catalano

13. The incredible statue of Neptune (Poseidon) in Gran Canaria, Spain

14. Leshan Giant Buddha in China (800 AD) At 71 meters (233 ft) tall, this is the tallest pre-modern statue on Earth.

15. Close-up views of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble statue of David, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.

16. The Kiss of Death is a marble sculpture made in 1930 and found in Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona.

17. The Weight of Thought, bronze sculptures by Thomas Lerooy.

18. Victor Noir’s grave in Père-Lachaise cemetery, created by Patrick Magaud in 1984, has gained fame not for Noir’s journalistic work but for the legend surrounding his death and burial site.

19. The amazing handkerchief detail in this marble statue made by French sculptor Louis Philippe Mouchy in 1781.

20. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a renowned Baroque sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome.

21. Luo Li Rong is a contemporary artist renowned for crafting hyper-realistic clay and bronze sculptures.

22. The Dignity statue in South Dakota, a stunning 50-foot-tall sculpture of a Native American woman draped in a star quilt.

24. Freedom Sculpture, Philadelphia

25. The vision of Constantine by Bernini is arguably one of the most underrated sculpture in art history.

26. The Mud Maid by Sue Hill, located in the Lost Garden of Heligan, Cornwall, UK.

27. Departure, a stunning bronze sculpture by artist George Lundeen, highlighted by the frost.

28. The Resting Boxer, crafted more than 2,000 years ago, is one of the most realistic sculptures ever made and one of the finest examples of bronze sculptures to have survived from the ancient world.

30. The mesmerizing details of The West Wind, a surreal marble sculpture by American artist Thomas Ridgeway Gould.
