Image of Francis Haserot headstone in Cleveland’s Lakeview Cemetery showing a seated, stoic angel, where time has patinaed the copper finish creating streaks which now run down her cheeks. Today, visWeeping Angel No. 4Ohio’s has impressive cemeteries to include Cleveland’s Lakeview Cemetery. It famously hosts President James Garfield and a distant relative of mine named John D. Rockefeller. It also hosts an impressive sculpture named, “The Angel of Death Victorious” by Herman Matzen who was commissioned to memorialize entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. This piece entails a seated and stoic looking angel holding an extinguished torch upside down, symbolizing death’s triumph over the living. In addition to the artist’s hand, time and weather also left their mark as dark streaks stream from the angel’s patinaed face, leading many to label her the weeping angel. In this image, the red headstone proved a distraction, thus I selectively desaturated the surrounding granite feature while employing a small aperture to extenuate the sun into a starburst.

Religious sculptures often portray the Virgin Mary or angels. These statues often capture the entity in prayerful stance or in quiet contemplation.
