Can a sculpture show emotions?

I was aware of photos that show emotions and paintings that show emotions, but can a sculpture show emotions? An expressive sculpture that shows human emotions is perhaps the most difficult art form. Michelangelo’s Pieta, as shown above, is a stunning sculpture that depicts Mother Mary carrying mortally wounded Jesus in her lap. There are a lot of nuances behind this masterpiece, and you can read about them here. Isn’t this sculpture expressive? I find it amazing!

now that i am relying on cyber cafes, i am feeling the pinch of time
I know, it’s difficult. During the initial stages of my blog, I was only reliant on cyber cafes. Just install Linux re… There will be no OS problems 🙂

Expressive indeed. It reminded me of the movie ‘Passion of the Christ’
Oh. I have not seen that movie. I like architecture in general, but emotions in architecture bowls me out!
Destination Infinity
yes i think they got the emotions
they got their own language to convey a message
It’s difficult to be expressive with sculptures, to say the least!
Destination Infinity
yes sculptures also show emotions!
This one does. But I think its difficult to make expressive sculptures!

As you said, showing expressions on a sculptured figure is something very very difficult, almost genius. Michaelangelo was one!
Wonder why there are a very few people who can work masterpieces like that… There are so many painters/artists in comparison!
Destination Infinity
Yes surely, with a genius sculptor as this!! Marvellous!
Reading his profile/life story in Wikipedia, one wonders how much trouble even master sculptors like him need to cross…

They are gorgeous. They do depict emotions. In Louvre museum and in Vatican, there are some impressive sculptures which are very artistically carved!
I hope to find some sculptures like that near home too…
