Marble & Rose

We all need to smell the roses. That includes ancient Roman statues but they do not have to worry about the thorns. The text below is from artdaily.org.

A large image displayed on the Portland Art Museum building of the 2nd century, A.D. Roman marble statue, The Discobolus, appears to smell roses still in bloom in the park blocks in downtown Portland, Ore., Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012. The statue, on loan from  The British Museum in London, is part of the museum’s  “The Body Beauty in Ancient Greece” exhibit.
