I have become fascinated by the Renaissance terracotta sculptures, that I have come across in my part of Italy. I took a morning off work to visit an important group in Modena. The "Deposizione dalla croce", ( 1530) in San Francesco, Modena, by Antonio Begarelli, is a later example, compared to the other earlier masterpiece I saw recently by Mazzoni. The later style veers towards classical antiquity, rather than realism.
I mostly shot these hand held, to have a more fluid way of shooting. My three footed monopod was used for the other church shots.San Francesco is part of a monastery, which, like many others has suffered over the years, particularly during the Napoleonic period. It was heavily restored in the nineteenth century.
