Pro-Life Art: Rainbow Angel


This an image of bronze sculpture by British artist Marc Quinn. It is titled "Rainbow Angel."

I found this picture in a French book about the pre-born (see bottom for reference.)

According to the book, the sculpture is a bronzed model of a skeleton of a 22-week fetus. He is represented as praying in Winchester Cathedral. It is supposed to represent an anti-abortion viewpoint.

I googled the artist's name and found another one of his sculptures that I love. It's called "Planet". I would love to have this in a local park in Ottawa. Isn't it gorgeous?
