Randolph Rogers, “The Lost Pleiade”, 1874-75, Marble

Look into this face. It is one of the most powerful and moving sculptures I have ever seen. Who can't relate to the very human experiences of sadness/sorrow/shame/fatigue/despair/sense of loss depicted here?
This art is for anyone who is looking (literally or figuratively) for their (literal or figurative) family, or for anyone who has made a mistake and can't find their way back.
This sculpture says: You aren't the only one who's been there. You are not alone, and someone with immense talent found these emotions to be significant enough to express them in this art form.
