My first thought was "Swift".

 

By "Swift" I assume you mean Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Pat's in Dublin. Sorry. Think further east and south. English not the first local language.

 

Looks like it refers to some historical event, with the people on the right coming out of some dark netherworld and ascending to a more pleasant existence... 'heaven'? Maybe the church's take on some dreadful event like WWII, holocaust? Part of a memorial?

Good thought. I don't have a detailed explanation of the meaning, but I am sure you are getting closer. Here are clues - it was done in 1949, and it is part of a door.

at the door of the baptisterium in Florence?

 

Much closer - but still a little too far north.

 

Hi There,

Could this be Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome?

Precisely. Doors given in 1949 by Pius XII to the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome. Great work - this is a little obscure. The Church is famous but the doors are a detail.

 

André, to you.

Ok, it is my turn, then.

It won't be too difficult I guess, but I like the place very much.

google says Boston Museum of Fine Arts

 

edit: to be even more precise Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the guys apparently are flying men by Jonathan Borofsky

Thanks for the interesting location.

 

Now for something less modern. Where is this and what is it?
