A Farce and a Mockery

One of our favorites too. 

stabletransit:

Pluto e Proserpina (Pluto and Persephone)

By far, my favorite piece of almost all Italian art by my favorite Italian artist, Bernini.  And to think, this was done with marble, 400 years ago, by a man of only 23 years.

    It gives me chills, Bernini is one of my favorite sculptors. His rendition of David is amazing.
