The ten-metre long Lion of Lucerne. The surrounding outline of the pig was added because the artist, Lukas Ahorn, was unhappy with his payment. Mark Twain called it “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.” (via)

The Kiss of Death
“This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery. ”The Kiss of Death” (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.”
