The large tomato symbolizes human flesh, while its green stem represents the devil, who tempts it. The Latin inscription on the Pope’s skullcap, “He watches over you,” signifies that God, depicted at the top, watches over us from heaven. The winged angel, holding a candle, descending the celestial ladder, represents the human soul. Below, in the square, people in white robes stand in a row around the word “God,” emphasizing the choice of pure souls. Acquiring 'The Great Tomato on the Vatican' means owning Kolesnikov's most enigmatic work. It is a gamble on intelligence and audacity, two values ​​that, historically, are associated with the greatest art collections.
