Description
The artwork of memorials in old cemeteries like Glasnevin in Dublin run the gamut from simple to ornate. This crucifixion scene with angels guarding and/or mourning beneath the cross is definitely on the ornate end of the spectrum. Aren't the details something else?
And those details are especially apparent in the bright sunlight I had during my visit to Glasnevin. This cemetery was founded in the early 18th century and is still used today. It's Ireland's largest nondenominational cemetery with over a million people claiming it as their last address. Although they certainly don't all lie beneath elaborate monuments like this one which bore the words "Thy will be done" at its base.
I'm still in awe at the soft but vivid light I was so lucky to have during my visit to Glasnevin...
