One of my favorite sculptures, in the Duomo in Milano; this is St. Bartholomew whose artist escapes me at the moment. If you remember, St. Bartholomew was flayed and here he carries his skin around his shoulders. I love his resolute, unmartyr-like expression and his athletic stance. ha!

You know, I don't know if I knew that. I just love this piece, too. Outside of the Michelangelo Trifecta, Moses, Pieta and David, this is one of my very favorites.
