Angel of Grief
Uploaded: December 15, 2011 02:11:48
This beautiful tombstone is the 1910 Cassard Monument, found in Green-Wood Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark cemetery, dating back to 1838, located in Brooklyn, New York. This poignant figure of an angel is known as the "Angel of Grief" or "The Weeping Angel." It is modeled after a 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story, which serves as the grave stone of both the artist and his wife, located in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.
