He seems someone who has nothing to do with religious matters. Curious pose either...

Lowell ha detto...

Are those wings behind him?

And by "new" you probably mean only 300-400 years old, right?

In Florida, new means it was built yesterday, and will probably be gone tomorrow.

I actually have the same question as Jacob. How do you define "new?" I've discovered that my definition is very different from that of Europeans ;)

Lovely detail, but I can't figure out if he's a soldier or a writer.

It looks so old for something so new, which is a good thing.

Me ha detto...

@Jacob and Hilda: you're right! Sorry I did not underline the fact that it was called "New" (and that's how it is called "New Cathedral") as opposed to the "Old" cathedral (400 century)because it was built just next to it. The New one was built between 1604 and 1820 :)
And yes the statue is a cross between a soldier "protecting" the Cathedral and a poet.
Thanks all of you guys for your interest :)
