"aura che quelle chiome bionde et crespe / cercondi et movi, et se’ mossa da loro…"*

wait, being a painter, not a poet, this artist will be putting all his effort in his visual work rather than in verse! and isn't his fair model lady's hair as golden as the pillars in most of his aquarelles? so could this be kismet? between you and me and the wall,* alexander, you may have just captured a day of destiny here, alexander! and from his elevated spot on his pedestal prescient petrarca is scanning the heavens for signs of proof… ; ) – – the corresponding golds/yellows make this image for me! greetings, sabine.

*well, what can i say… i googled "petrarch", and in the wikipedia entry found sonnet 227 which, i think, perfectly matches this shot of yours – kismet! yep, definitely! ; )
**also specked with gold!

Magnifica istantanea. Questi artisti di strada sono davvero molto bravi. Costituiscono una simpatica anticipazione dei gioielli mondiali che tacchiude la Galleria degli Uffizi.
Un caro saluto,
Carlo

a great scene and fine image combining past and present ... the beauty and history of this sculpture - and the drawing of the modern young woman taking shape - I like the pattern of dry and wet on the pavement !!!
greetings, Adele
