Impressive, though I wonder if the original would have been painted?
its one of those things that opinion varies. Some statues were painted and some not I suspect. Looks quite effective though
I hear Donald Trump is planning something similar for the White House lawn...
;D

Currently watching Waldemar Januscek's take on Mannerism. The use of gigantic grotesque statuary in the gardens of a Palladian mansion like the White House would be quite in keeping with that movement :)

Art sometimes gets there ahead of real life I doubt Donald's version, when it inevitably arrives, will be any more tasteful than this.

Apparently they're planning to erect a second copy in Bishop Auckland, if Rome is a bit too far for you.
Which one are we talking about now, the Constantine or the Trump?
Have just discovered eldest daughter is in Rome at the moment. I've suggested she goes and visits.
