It's never a dull moment on HuffPost Arts. This week we've featured everything from tree hotels high in the sky to art healing ministries which promise to cure everything from acne to hay hever.

The sculpture pictured is clearly a copy of Michelangelo's Moses.
How can one tell the difference?

Edmonia's Moses made me cry and gasp. She had admired Michael Angelo, his work, so much that I imagined and admired her hands sculpting her Moses. She was phenomenal and I adore her drive to leave America when African Americans were thoroughly oppressed, and to believe in art to live in Italy where she indeed thrived.

I've been working on some research on Edmonia Lewis with my art history students. You might like this Smithsonian article on The Death of Cleopatra.

oops, the url didn't work but I thank you. I am happy to search for the article you intended for me to see. I am grateful you are conducting research on Edmonia Lewis and including your students in the research. Would be wonderful if you were funded. Undergraduate research? Graduate research? There is support.
