Statues in Krakow

in

Statues impart a feeling individually as well as when the total of all statues in a city are considered.  Individual statues may commemorate battles, generals or the soldiers.  These may convey a sense of pride, hubris, formality, in part as a result of the conversions around military monuments.  In other cases, individual statues are more works of art conveying progress in culture, raw emotion or simply to beautify the surroundings.  

Considered as a whole, it is the sum of the individual messages that weighs in the overall sense.

In Krakow, while I may have self-selected, I was left with a sense that these artifacts celebrated the arts over the commemoration of war.
