APOLLO AND DAPHNE BY BERNINI

3.00

In the sculptural group Apollo and Daphne Bernini shows his stunning virtuosity, he literally "translates" the verses of the Latin poet Ovid, showing you the story of the nymph Daphne being pursued by the god Apollo, who does not love him as he does her: in fact, as soon as he reaches her, Daphne begins to turn into a laurel tree. Even surpassing the models of classical sculpture, Bernini turns every surface into something else: hair turns into fronds, soft flesh is wrapped around the rough bark of a tree, fingers become thin laurel leaves.
