Apollo and Daphne is a very graphic sculpture that was created in 1622-1625 by an Italian artist by the name of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The sculpture shows the immense masterful craftsmanship of Bernini as he painstakingly recreates the apex of the story behind Phoebus and Daphne. A love that is destined never to be, can be no more than an epic tragedy.

No for a little Sunday afternoon culture. I always liked going to museums on Sunday, when I was a real person. ~~dru~~

Very interesting. I actually have a miniature sculpture that probably has some Greek basis. I would be interested in knowing more about it.
