Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
News from Florence that Michelangelo's freshly conserved Tomb in the basilica of Santa Croce in Florence has been presented to the public. The 100,000 EUR project, completed to mark the artist's 550th birthday, was conducted by Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Factory of the Hard Stones).
As I'm unable to share photos (click on the link above to see more), instead I thought I would share the late Brian Sewell's reflection on the monument from one of his television series.
