“Tindaro Screpolato” (Tyndareus Cracked) by Igor Mitoraj, 1998
Giardini di Boboli (Boboli Gardens)
Florence, October 2013
“Tindaro Screpolato is an enormous bronze statue by sculptor Igor Mitoraj that is located in the Boboli Garden in Florence, Italy. The Germany-born Polish artist's towering structure features the cracked and disembodied face of a man set against the lush, green landscape of the garden. The crumbling visage complements its lively environment, at times seeming like its guardian that weathered down to nothing more than a fractured face, holding its position nonetheless.” (Giant Cracked Face Statue Depicts Strength and Fragility, My Modern Met)
