Visited Europe in 1996 and saw it then. Easily the greatest statue i’ve ever seen. The size surprises since it’s quite large. The Pieta might rival it but since it was damaged it’s kept distant from viewing and it’s smaller and life size.
I've not yet visited Europe--I'm saving that for the Millennium, LOL. When my parents went in the '70s I requested three souvenirs: an Eiffel Tower rivet, a Notre Dame Cathedral gargoyle, and the Pietá's brass nameplate. What I got was flecks of Tower paint.
