Pope Leo XIV warns against AI threats! Pope Leo XIV warns that AI could risk human dignity and social balance. Here’s a short, powerful message on why we must guide tech with conscience.

Angels Unawares by Canadian sculptor Timothy Paul Schmalz was installed on Piazza San Pietro in Vatican City in 2019. It's based on Hebrews 13:2: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares".

"Post Passion" At the time Michelangelo created his flawless and 2nd most famous sculpture "Pietà" he was only 24 years old. It took him less than 2 years from 1498-1499 to complete it. He was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to create Pietà for his funeral monument. Michelangelo's Pietà had a few homes over the centuries & now resides behind bulletproof glass in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, after 1972 when crazed geologist took a hammer to it knocking off Mary's nose, eyebrow, & her left arm. This is the only piece of work that Michelangelo ever signed. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #jesuschrist #worldtraveler #Bnw #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #pieta #pietà #michelangelo #vaticancity #stpetersbasilica #vatican #sculpture #jesus #madonna #church #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4E323SFYC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕦𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕠 𝕗𝕦𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕠 𝕕𝕖𝕝 ℙ𝕒𝕡𝕒 𝔸𝕝𝕖𝕛𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕠 𝕍𝕀𝕀 (1655- 1667), obra de 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗶 y asistentes de 1678. El monumento escultórico está ubicado en el crucero sur de la Basílica de San Pedro en la Ciudad del Vaticano. La pieza fue encargada por el mismo Papa Alejandro VII. Sin embargo, la construcción del monumento no comenzó hasta 1671 y se completó en 1678, once años después de la muerte del Papa. A la edad de 81 años, esta sería la última gran obra escultórica de Bernini antes de su muerte en 1680. Hay seis figuras significativas en el monumento. En el ápice está el Papa Alejandro VII arrodillado en oración. Debajo de él hay cuatro estatuas femeninas que representan las virtudes practicadas por el Pontífice. En primer plano está Caridad con un niño en brazos. A la derecha de esta está la Verdad, cuyo pie descansa sobre un globo. Más precisamente, su pie se coloca directamente sobre Inglaterra, donde el Papa Alejandro se había esforzado por dominar el crecimiento del anglicanismo. En el segundo nivel están la Prudencia y la Justicia. Estas estatuas fueron talladas en mármol blanco. Más dramáticamente, debajo de Alejandro, la figura de la Muerte está representada en bronce dorado, envuelta en un ondulante ropaje de jaspe siciliano. Levanta un reloj de arena para simbolizar que el tiempo ha pasado. El reloj de arena es también un símbolo artístico del "memento mori" (recuerda que morirás). ✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤ #alexandervii #baroquestatue #bernini #baroque #popealexandervii #barocco #marblesculpture #baroqueart #italianbaroque #gianlorenzobernini #baroquesculpture #personificationofdeath #baroquearchitecture #vatican #romanbaroque #cittadelvaticano #vaticancity #basilicadisanpietro #vaticano #roma #catholic #italia #catholicchurch #sculpture #catholicism #chusayinka #art #arthistory #storiadellarte #italianart (en Basilica Di San Pietro,Vaticano) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyGWt5M7Y5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
