I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life.. how on earth can you do this using watercolours? I've always loved the original statue, and thought of it as something of a miracle, Michelangelo's first major commission, I think.

So when I saw this I nearly fell over. Luckily I was sitting down at the time. Well done!
