The expressions on the faces are of the dying,and the horses heads are down..Who was the sculptor?or maybe more than one...RE: Brothers' Cemetery (Riga)
Sad but wonderful sculptures,especially the first one,with the large tombstone..Maybe the idea is good to have the seperate cemetery for soldiers killed in action,as people can then appreciate the scale of life lost....It looks as if sculpted on an angle..I enjoy to see sculptures of any kind...Thankyou for sharing these.. Brothers' Cemetery (Riga)
Yes, I noticed it also, may it's wether blame, still grey and sad...Tomorrow hope will be in more sunny mood
RE: Art Poster

Brothers' Cemetery (Riga)
The foundation stone of the memorial was laid on 18 November 1924. The first sculptural group, of dying horsemen, was unveiled on 20 November 1927, the second on 2 September 1928. The famous sculpture of Mother Latvia and her dead sons was unveiled on 13 October 1929. Construction of the main gates began in 1930. Statues of soldiers with shields symbolizing the four regions of Latvia were carved later. In 1936 the coats of arms of the 19 districts and the 59 cities of Latvia were carved in the wall of the cemetery. The cemetery was formally dedicated as a memorial on 11 November 1936 in the presence of the then President of Latvia and the government.
