Weeping angel, Marble statue in Amiens, France

The Weeping Angel statue features a standing angelic figure with downcast eyes and hands covering the face, carved with intricate details in the drapery.

Created in the early 20th century, this marble work stands as a monument within the Saint-Acheul cemetery, marking the transition in memorial sculpture styles.

The statue represents the French tradition of cemetery art, combining religious symbolism with emotional expression through sculptural techniques and material selection.

Visitors can locate the statue near the entrance of Saint-Acheul cemetery, with guided tours available through the Amiens Tourism Office.

The statue changes appearance throughout the day as sunlight moves across its surface, creating different shadow patterns that enhance its emotional impact.
