I've been fortunate to see several works of art in "person".
Michelangelo's Pieta:
Click on the image. Notice how the fingers of Christs right hand embracing the folds of Mary's dress. Looking closely at the detail work on this statue it seems impossible that any human could create such a thing...and in 1 huge piece of marble.
Picasso's Guernica:
"Commissioned by the Spanish Republican government, Pablo Picasso’s iconic painting from 1937 pictures the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by Germany in the Spanish Civil War. By traveling Guernica around the world (to venues such as the World’s fair in Paris) Picasso successfully revealed the unknown horrors of this war. The large-scale Cubist painting is known for its anti-war imagery, particularly depicted through the tragedies of war on the innocent civilian."

I have been lucky enough to go to the Palace of Fine Arts in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and they have dozens of his pieces, plus a duplicate of The Thinker that he produced. It is such a beautiful place and his worked are the center piece. It has drawn me there several times even though it is across the country from me.
