This memorial statue depicting Jesus is a part of a familiar tomb in the Monumental Cemetery of Milan.
The Monumental Cemetery, more than just a simple cemetery, is an extraordinary outdoor museum. It is as if some of the great sculptors of the 1900s were called together to elaborate and reflect on a particularly demanding theme, to be precise, death.
The cemetery is comprised of three distinct zones: the central one hosts the tombs of catholic families and persons, that to the right facing the facade, is reserved for Jewish persons, while the left is dedicated to non-Catholics.
From an architectural perspective, you can catch a glimpse of both Romanic and Gothic traces.
