1.
Pieta
Pieta is one of the most famous sculpture. His body is different from earlier pieta statues, which were usually smaller and in wood. The Virgin is also unusually young, and in repose, rather than the older, sorrowing Mary of most pieta’s. The Virgin is shown as youthful for two reasons; God is the source of all beauty and she is one of the closest to God.

Bird in Space
Bird in Space is a series of sculptures by Constantin Brancusi, a Romanian sculptor. The original work was created in 1923. It was sold in 2005 for $27.5 million, a record for a sculpture sold in an auction.
In the Bird in Space works Brancusi concentrated not on the physical attributes of the bird but on its movement. The bird's wings and feathers are eliminated, the swell of the body is elongated, and the head and beak are reduced to a slanted oval plane.
Seven of the sculptures in the series are made of marble, while the other nine were cast in bronze. The first and best known of the series is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, while a bronze-cast one

Danaide
The sculpture is a portrait bust of Brancusi's muse, the Hungarian art student Margit Pogany. As Eykyn points out, it is one of the precursors of the later Art Deco movement, incorporating elements of Cycladic and archaic Greek sculpture found throughout many of Brancusi's works of the period. It is one of the earliest examples of the simplicity and purity that came to characterize his later works, including his famous "Bird in Space."

A discus thrower is presented about to release his throw. The moment captured in the statue is an example of harmony, rhythmus and balance. Discobolus pose is looks to be unnatural to a human, and today considered a rather inefficient way to throw the discus.

The Statue of David
The Statue of David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture sculpted by Michelangelo. The 5.17 meter marble statue portrays the Biblical King David in the nude. Unlike previous depictions of David which portray the hero after his victory over Goliath, Michelangelo chose to represent David before the fight contemplating the battle yet to come. It came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, an independent city state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici themselves. This interpretation was also encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic

The Thinker Statue
The Thinker Statue is one of Auguste Rodin’s most famous sculptures, a piece originally conceived to be part of another work. The Thinker was part of a commission by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris to sculpt a monumental door based on The Divine Comedy of Dante. Each of the statues in the piece represented one of the main characters in the epic poem.
Initially named the The Poet, The Thinker statue was intended to represent Dante himself at the top of the door reflecting on the scene below. However, we can speculate that Rodin thought of the figure in broader, more universal terms. The Thinker is depicted as a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal

The Endless Column
The Endless Column is a sculpture created by Constantin Brâncuşi and inaugurated in Romania on 27 October 1938.
This sculpture, based on the symbolism of the axis mundi, was made as a tribute to the young Romanians who died in World War I fighting Germany, and is a stylization of the funerary pillars used in Southern Romania.
In the 1950s, the Romanian communist government considered Brâncuşi's art an example of "bourgeois" sculpture and planned to demolish it, but the plan was never executed. It was restored between 1998 and 2000 through a collaborative effort of the Romanian Government, World Monuments Fund, the World Bank and other Romanian and international groups.
