“Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Carved when Bernini was only 20 years old for the powerful cardinal-nephew Scipione Borghese, the “Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius” demonstrated the extraordinary talent of the sculptor to the world. Mesmerizing special effects transform stone into stretching, malleable flesh, and textures that you can almost feel with your eyes! Buona visione!
