I love Washington D.C. for many reasons, but politicians aren’t one of them. The city is rich in history and has many beautiful sculptures. I love researching sculptures to understand their meaning and history. The sculptures themselves are beautiful, but I love focusing on the small details.
Ralph Waldo Emerson had this to say:
Painting and Sculpture
The sinful painter drapes his goddess warm,
Because she still is naked, being drest;
The godlike sculptor will not so deform
Beauty, which bones and flesh enough invest.— Ralph Waldo Emerson
