Yes it's a beautiful huge structure of this warrior. With all the flowing garbs and expressions and arms it's almost like it's not connected or strapped down the Earth it's practically flying so so anime it's wonderful to look at and inside I don't know what they use it for you can hold it maybe an opera theater
I've watched the Mihai Eminescu segment three times now and I cannot see anything that's supposed to be so amazing about it. Would appreciate anyone pointing it out to me.
I find it funny how someone who created something as adorable as the Fuwa...also created something THIS epic and menacing. That wasn't his first Olympic-related work either. His Five-Dragon Clock Tower sculpture for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta made him the FIRST Chinese artist to ever design a sculpture in the US. Sad thing is, that giant statue has been dismantled back in September 2021. The problem was when the developers submitted their plan to city officials, they only submitted plans for the boat-shaped musem at the statue's base, not the statue. Statues like that one requires their own planning process, they also weren't aware the area it was in had a height limit. They spent over 24 MILLION dollars to dismantle and thankfully relocate it.
Agreed, Scotsman here and I've been to see the Kelpies. Beautiful, majestic and awe-inspiring are just some of the words that should be used to describe these masterpieces. A must see for anyone in Scotland either living there or just visiting.
I really disagree with this list. Some where really awesome and worthy of their place on the list. But not having Christ The Redeemer, African Renaissance Monument, and the Statue of Liberty has me befuddled. But that’s just my opinion.
The sinking library would be more compelling if it was on earth or grass rather than a perfect sidewalk. It looks artificial. On a soft surface it would be more convincing.
Others, Nipponese Goddess of Mercy (Japan), Standing Buddha statues (In Afghanistan, destroyed by Taliban), Statue of Zeus(Greece, since destroyed), Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse statue, Stone Mountain, Sphinx(Egypt)
A truly eclectic and amazing collection - each different from the other as each crafted by a different artist. Thank you for putting this together for us!
@@thedarkemissary it should have replaced the number two.. because it's so majestic looking over the mountains in Brazil it's fantastic looking and a warming feeling you get
what if find about michealangelo pieces more so than any other statues is .the formation of the statue is realistic to the point of all veins and muscles that come to life
Wow, im absolutely stunt to all this marvelous, fantastic giant statutes... those created them are so intelligent design..."GENIUSES "; GOD BLESS, 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇, best for me, the stairway to heaven, all of them are so beautiful...30th March 2022..
No, Scottish Girl. Number 2 is miss matched. Something not said in the documentary could justify reasoning. To stack art in a line like this is unreasonable but fun. Size is a poor standard.. but fun. There are both beautiful and amazing art in the world, and those standards are not the same.
I love art and seeing these statues has me appreciating it even more. That statue in China is fantastic, and I wonder how he would like his country now if he could see it???? I had actually seen pictures of number one, so I already knew what it represented. There were two statues that wasn't shown, the Christ of the Andes and the Statue of Liberty. Oh yeah and by the way, I have actually been to the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Arkansas, fascinating statue, so now I don't need to go to Brazil to see the other one.
@@ffpr1it’s being dismantled and relocated. So it’s still going to be up until they start dismantling it in October it will be relocated to a new city.
@@foxygirl849 Yes, there was some sinking problems.. I just went to the place where it once was two weeks ago. It's my father's hometown. Nothing is there. I'm still regretting not being able to see it while it was still standing.
For sheer technical virtousity you can't go past the statues in the San Severo chapel in Naples that are part of the mausoleum of the noble de Sangro family -in particular the one that shows the body of Jesus after he was taken down from the cross and a thin veil placed over him -the skill required to make stone look like a thin veil would have been formidable and another statue in the chapel is called "Truth" also in marble which shows a man entrapped in a fishing net with every detail carved in stone.The 18th century ancestor who commissioned the statues was renowned as an alchemist,inventor and magician and some people believed that he used magic on the sculptors to make them carve these amazing statues.
I kept wanting for Metamorphosis to change from one person's face to another as it turned. Maybe he can do that the next time he makes a revolving piece.
Wow! Yoga pose statue make no mention of Yoga or its ethnic origin but rather skips to the Japanese style while skirting the origin of Yoga and its much deeper meaning
I don't understand why you don't talk about the "monument de la Renaissance", in Dakar. It's a amazing statue. The tallest statue in Africa and more tallest than the statue of liberty in New York.
Number 2, seems too much as if taken the idea from a contemporary artist, painter and sculptor from Spain. Eduardo Urculo. Depends on whom first, but Eduardo Urculo is definitely from the 80s on forward. His work is also within the high speed rail station in downtown Madrid Spain. Atocha. It also has an indoor botanical garden. The series is also called, "El Viajero ", "The Traveler". That's why. I'm a fan, that's why immediately spotted the similarity. If gone through that train station, definitely see one from the series, between the botanical garden and before going through security to the gates to the trains
the most emotionally affecting statue for me is Grieving Parents by Kathe Kollwitz. And I know it's fashionable among the esthetes to scoff at the Russian statue in Volgograd (renamed to the previous Tsarist name from Stalingrad). Though there are many things about Socialist Realism that I dislike, this statue was created after WWII. And after what the USSR suffered in WWII, any statue created would have to be overwhelmingly evocative to work. A three story Calder wind mobile is just not going to cut it.

Am I the only one not impressed with number 2? The rest were beautiful
I wasn't impressed with number 2 at all
I had to look it up to see if i missed something. Does not seem to be anything earth shaking or magnificent about Mihai Eminescu by Oscar Han.
I concur.
I guess it's the ultimate recycling project. I'm so sorry, but it was made even worse by the 'deep thoughts' that accompanied it
Agree. What was the point of that?
number 1 is absolutely striking !!!!
Wow...these are really cool!
13:25 I don't get it, what are we suppose to see that we can't see from a normal angle?
Is there anyone else who fails see what makes “Mihai Eminescu by Oscar Han” anything special? To me, it’s Mediocre, and not worth a second glance.
Very prosaic piece. Agree. Wonder what I am missing.
#1 could be nothing else but The Motherland Calls. It is absolutely stunning.
To kill people!!!
I totally agree! Aesthetically the best in the World, but about at par with the Statue of Liberty, imo. [Your kitty is also amazing gorgeous!]
Love the first gal's philosophy with light coming through the statue.
I think they are ALL pretty amazing! #13, the Chinese Warrior is breathtaking!!!
Yes it's a beautiful huge structure of this warrior. With all the flowing garbs and expressions and arms it's almost like it's not connected or strapped down the Earth it's practically flying so so anime it's wonderful to look at and inside I don't know what they use it for you can hold it maybe an opera theater
Bad news for you, that one particular sculpture has already been dismantled 😹😹 it only existed for 7 years
@@ffpr1darn I wonder why ?
@@ffpr1just read that it’s being relocated not dismantled for good.
These are so beautiful. If I was a teacher, I would show these to my kids. They definitely should be shown in art classes.
I've watched the Mihai Eminescu segment three times now and I cannot see anything that's supposed to be so amazing about it. Would appreciate anyone pointing it out to me.
agreed
I'm with you on this. Big ???
Me, too. Looks pretty run of the mill. It’s inclusion did get me to look up this poet, though.
Books are ideas. May we always have places to store our ideas to anyone that think they can apply them or just think about them.

These people are so talented it's amazing wow
The Kelpies are in Falkirk, not too far from Edinburgh. See them at night. I'm still in awe just looking at the pics I took.
Agreed, Scotsman here and I've been to see the Kelpies. Beautiful, majestic and awe-inspiring are just some of the words that should be used to describe these masterpieces. A must see for anyone in Scotland either living there or just visiting.
@@scottguffie7759 And just a mile along the canal is the Falkirk wheel. Engineering, sure, but also a great piece of sculpture.
For someone as supreme as I am, I definitely deserve a statue as extravagant and epic as the God of War
Just change the face and it fits you 🙃
Amazing artwork.👍👍
I really disagree with this list. Some where really awesome and worthy of their place on the list. But not having Christ The Redeemer, African Renaissance Monument, and the Statue of Liberty has me befuddled. But that’s just my opinion.
The world for him doest includes other countries it seems... The last one records are untrue...
Statue of Liberty……… meh
Thank you, for including Rodina (Motherland)
Knowledge does not have weight. It usually gives you power to do things because of that knowledge.
Breathtaking ! Thank you for the amazing video!! Most surprising is most of these are unknown to many especially that God of war statue !!👍👍
I’m somehow glad this list isn’t just filled with Rodin and Michael Angelo
The Angel of the North is quite nice too.
Paige's (sculpture) work is sublime🥰
The sinking library would be more compelling if it was on earth or grass rather than a perfect sidewalk. It looks artificial. On a soft surface it would be more convincing.
Very good video!!!! Every one is super cool!!! Bucket list material I think!!!
I never knew a statue could be so interesting.
The motherland calls is so beautiful to me, I wish my city had a strong and beautiful woman with a sword towering over it!
Andale tu si sabes lo que es bueno.
IMO it's actually quite chilling, in light of Russia's rape of Ukraine: a motherland that murders mothers.

Amazing video👍👍👍
Still can't get over the princess Diana statue ...really...how in the world can anyone think it looks good....
It is ghastly in every way. I could go on and on about it. Glad i am not alone.
7:47 I have never heard of "Colossus by Giamblogna". Ow I am obsessed with it.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Christ statue in brazil.
There's like 10 of those. That one isn't even the biggest.
@@thedarkemissary it should have replaced the number two.. because it's so majestic looking over the mountains in Brazil it's fantastic looking and a warming feeling you get
if you are Christian it is meaningful but there is nothing very special about it appearance wise etc..
@@memeishere1 im an agnostic and i find that statue more amazing than some on this list because of its height and overlooking a city.
I’m in love with statues now these are all so gorgeous
Amazing video😍🥰😘🤩
Y'all should do a part 2 for this video cuz there's a lot of cool statutes that y'all missed
You forgot the stutue of sphinx in egypt and pieta in vatican by Michaelangelo
what if find about michealangelo pieces more so than any other statues is .the formation of the statue is realistic to the point of all veins and muscles that come to life
Sculpture is my favorite art form. Thank you for this❤
Loved the Chinese one - such movement...
Actually a pretty cool diverse list
❤The Travelers, Stairway, and many more. Thanks for posting

It's already been dismantled 😹😹 sadly when it was witnessed that the ground could not withstand the huge pressure of 1300 tons and began to sink
@@ffpr1it’s being dismantled and relocated. So it’s still going to be up until they start dismantling it in October it will be relocated to a new city.
@@ffpr1from what I read it’s had nothing to do with sinking they Simple’s don’t want it there because it’s too tall.

No to#2. I give up!
THAT GOD OF WAR STATUES IS THE COOLEST LOOKING STATUE EVER
The sinking book statue is also in Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand, but it by a different artist.
There is a beautiful American Indian woman in Montana that should had been part of program go and see her. 🖤💙🖤
Nice thank you

Interesting vedios

all of them are masterpiece but sometimes looks very very sinister
Thank you

I've known about #1 since I was a kid in '81 or so. Whoa, yeah!
The Expansion lit up is my favorite.
Excellent
An intriguing collection. Thank you esp. for the inclusion of "the Motherland Calls" [ 15:10] which might just be the most beautiful in the world.
It is important for the future of mankind.
Check out Jatayu statue , largest bird statue in the world
Apart from the Monolith in oslo. No one has ever crafted a momolith out of granite as a single stone. Since egypt.. but Norway did
Michelangelo's David or Pieta, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC ... ?
Number 14 is not a statue.
Cool 🎉
Right, ... this video, like many of this nature, is an "opinion" only, ... and nothing else.
Body missing statue was good !
I know it's well known and boring at this point but the statue of liberty 🗽 is still one of the most iconic statues in the world

Une création humaine limitante et limitée qui se veux exorciser les troubles de l'humain et matérialiser ses aspirations et son idéal
Il y a autant de statues que d'hommes certaines se veulent philosophiques iconographiques idéologiques ... parfois insolentes ou provocatrices souvent à portée mystique
un bout de matière pour désigner et deifier une idée voyageuse à travers le temps et l'espace ou un concept ou une idéologie ou un mythe ou une mythologie ou un mortel à l'égo sur dimensionné éléphantesque qui a marqué son temps ou ses adeptes .
Certainement elle marque la vue mais obstrue la vision .
Elle ne mène nullement à la connaissance hors de la matière elle la réduit à sa stricte expression dans le champ du visible et celui du ressenti
Elle se veux imitation du divin mais elle est loin du compte car souvent usée par le temps et taxée d'archaïsme : dépassée dans le bouillonnement des concepts et des idées que l'humanité usite et revisite
La création dans la matière tend à asservir l'humain
la création hors de la matière le rend libre et proche du divin
