The Virgin and Child with St. Anne (Fig. 1) was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci on 1510. The painting depicted St. Anna, her daughter the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. Michelangelo Buonarroti’s Roma Pietà (Fig. 2) was created on around 1499. The sculpture depicted the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus, most often found in sculpture. Mary and Jesus are shown in both of these two artworks but in a different period of their life.
Christ is shown sliding off his mother’s knee and grappling with a lamb symbolizing his passion in The Virgin and Child with St. Anna (Fig. 1) (Beattie, 2015; Romei, 2008; Trutty-Coohill, 2006). The lamb foreshadows that Christ will do some great things and sacrifice for humanity in the future (Beattie, 2015).

3) is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 meters (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 meters (177 ft) across. The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward; it creates a sense of embrace since the angle is embracing the nature and integrating people in nature. Angel of the North (Fig. 3) stands near Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, England. The sculpture likes a giant located on a hill on the southern edge of Low Fell and it is looking at people on the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside. Its eyes were extended to the East Coast Main Line rail route and south of the site of Team Colliery. Also, people in these places can always see Angel of the North (Fig. 3). Gormley uses the idea from Romantic Era on Angel of the North (Fig. 3). He combines the art of nature and the nature of art (Rumsey,
