Description
I've always found the "Angel of Grief" (a.k.a. Weeping Angel) monument to be espcially beautiful and moving as it wonderfully expresses the grief of losing a loved one. I take every opportunity of photograph them when I find one. This is the eleventh Angel I've photographed but what makes it special for me is that this is the original Angel of Grief upone which all of the others are based on. American artist and sculptor William Wetmore Story (1819-1895) made this for his wife Emelyn Story (1820-1895). He is buried next to her. This is in the Cimitero Acattolica di Roma (Non-Catholic Cemetery of Rome) aka Campo Cestio or the Protestant Cemetery.
