Deep in the shady sadness of a vale Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn, Far from the fiery noon, and eve’s one star, Sat gray-hair’d Saturn, quiet as a stone, Still as the silence round about his lair; Forest on forest hung about his head Like cloud on cloud. No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer’s day Robs not one light seed from the feather’d grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.

It's a masterful composition--not only in the framing and angles--but in the juxtaposition of the modern background behind the antiquity of the subject.

Striking piece and Intriguing detail. Reminds me of Ugolino by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux.

Definitely a winner here! The photograph and the title speak volume. The paradox and deep sadness emanate from the image. I do not know.. why, but I have the sudden need to riot and say "Break The Silence" :). Thank you for sharing this piece of art.
