Today's art is from England and Paris. In England we went to the Salsbury Cathedral and Bathe. In Paris we went to the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe. Here are some photos of the works of art I saw at each place.
Here is a carving to an ancient god carved by the first users of the hot springs in what is today known as Bathe.

This was placed above a tomb in Salsbury Cathedral. I believe this to be religious instead of death and morbidity because the statue is of an angel. The epitaph reads, "His lot was with the dawn of life to die with the dawn of victory."

Here we see the entrance to Notre Dame. Very religious depictions carved all over the place here. This shows Jesus, his 12 apostles and then all the angels, saints and other names in Christianity.
In this photo of a sculpture we see an angel but we cannot see the face. This sculpture was found inside the Louvre, I don't know the title nor the artist but I did think it looked cool and definitely has a relevance here.

This final sculpture's photo was taken on the Arc de Trioumphe. This is were Paris has their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I believe this is one of the Arch Angels leading or guarding troops in battle.
