One of my favourites in that aspect is Michaelangelo's Pieta. It is one of the most beautiful sculptures I know. Now rationally I know it is marble and therefore cold, but emotionally I find myself thinking it is warm - like skin. It is very odd!
Oh, I love this sculpture! I don't know why but I generally have this strange feeling about marble – it certainly looks much warmer then it really is and when I touch it I get this "Oh, how cold. Why?" feeling..
