Fine marbling...
RockKnight
Saw this sculpture about a week ago at the Borghese Gallery, it's really something!
theorange123
Please tell me this is an one piece work

Is it a solid piece of marble? Like...what the hell mang?
ScreenName01
What if these arent carved? But they used a chemical to soften the stone so they can sculpt. Look at ones with nets.
Splittmark
If you fucked up you start over right. How did they find make marble so readily available
FierceAndAdorable
Bernini is the most amazing sculptor
CheeseBelongsInTheKitten
Hey @op I’m a brisbane horror guy!
BoobyTraps
Stupid thick.
AskARussian
The details

bthemills
90's people be complaining about having to wait 40 seconds for a nude pic to load on dial-up. But shit...these guys had to sculp their porn.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
I’m a little more intrigued with the hair. Damn.
Gantzz321
the models must have loved and hated this job
zFUBARz
And to think we only knew about perspective for a couple hundred years at that point.
Almaadin
Bernini. He's so hot right now.

Serious, I need to squeeze your thighs for a sculpture I'm doing.

Whoever did this is amazingly talented but there are a few fuck ups on this.. like under the knee of his right leg and her left toe.

I love the squishy shit

Gross dude, leave it in the bowl!

We're just not given the space to explore this kind of work any more.

Why does Lucifer look like 90's Gavin Rossdale?
ajhorselady84
Yeah, I'd go satanist for that.
HotDickings
Damn he’s chiseled.
Benji582
I mean he’s suppose to be god most beautiful creation so it fits
extremisttt
We still pose the same in magazines.
Xenarion
They should have took it the right way and say it illustrate the devil's temptation.

To give a frame of reference for their scholars perhaps, give them a visual reference cue.
WarKittyKat
Presumably as part of a larger display. Lots of art was meant to tell a story.

feels like no sinning at all
haleysings517
All jokes aside, that kind of detail requires some DISGUSTING talent.
EchoWhiskyBravo
It’s worth a special trip to see this and the other Bernini statues in Rome.
CottonJerzy
Yes. Beyond beyond.
pixelsnader
Nah it's pretty easy. The statue is already in the block the whole time. All you gotta do is remove what's around it...
ShlongaDonga
Bernini was only 23 when he finished this
fredbloxx
to say nothing of OCD.
SjyiN
I bet that sculpter has the biggest wankbank.
Dathamir
Bernini has some disgusting talent too. Guy could draw and build things too.

The crazy thing is, there's a LOT of marble carved that well. Case in point: random tomb in England
YesIAmYourCat
Mother of pearl, that zoom!
Marx0r
I mean, if that person had enough money to afford a tomb of marble, then it's certainly not a 'random tomb'
redsmerf
Yeah, but I didn't take a picture of the name on the tomb. It was in a smallish town somewhere between York and Nottingham.
thedro2911
Fuck yeah, Bernini was THE master.
Mkonemo
Actually THE master was Michelangelo, since Bernini was somehow inspired by him. Probably there wouldn't be a Bernini without Michelangelo
Mkonemo
Still, both are the gratest amongst the greatest, they alone could share a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place on a podium all by themselves
keenharlequin
And also patience. You can't underscore this enough: this kind of talent would do nothing without the ability to spend hours focusing on...
keenharlequin
chipping away the tiniest amount of material to achieve perfection. It might be a skill rarer than artistic talent, and a combination of...
keenharlequin
the two is just about unheard of.
PhoenSunfire
The artist said "I work with marble as if it were wax"
OtterlyMagnificent
That's just...well...That's unfair. But then I do the same thing with electronics, so...I guess it evens out.
PhoenSunfire
Bernini was, I believe, the world's greatest sculptor
OtterlyMagnificent
I could believe that. After all, that is a deific ass right there.
PhoenSunfire
Yeah he was totally an ass man
kodiakpryde
wait till you see the ones where marbel "cloth" looks translucent

The rape of Proserpina by Gina Lorenzo Bernini. Phenomenal.

Once a week at that.
BeReasonableOrAtLeastBeFunny
Gian Bernini was only 23 years old at its completion.
SpiffyMouse
Great now I feel like a failure as a 23 year old.
muffintop666
Rape meant to steal back in the day, so this really is just the Kidnapping of Prosperina, no rape involved :)
sStuRdY
*yet
flushedselkie
yes, I'm sure rape isn't a factor in kidnapping
Dionysus187
Pluto was just gonna ransom her for Olympus Bucks
ameranthe
Well, yes, but actually no. In these myths, rape usually means exactly what we think it means. Mortal women were just toys to the gods.
gaidinbdj
Except this isn't a mortal woman, it's another god.
ameranthe
And the worst part is that the mortal woman, after being kidnapped and ravished, was often the one who was punished for the act.
dwilson0725
You say this as if there were actually gods raping women... Lol
ameranthe
How the fuck would I know? I wasn't even there. There probably weren't magical sky gods, but if there were I don't want to make em mad at me
misterdisquiet
Pretty sure actual rape came later.
SjyiN
Quite difficult fucking marble no,?
acenorth69
Depends if your Male or female lol

Not if u like a challenge.

Irishda
Well she became Hades' wife, so I'm sure rape rape came later
lazyarachnid
This is true. I’ve just my classics friends occasionally debate the characterizations. He was def a bad guy in the myths.
