not to be a nerd but it’s so crazy how he (Bernini) really did that from cold hard stone……. truly a spectacle, truly breathtaking, an honor to behold

[maddieinmanhattan]

I think you should know he was 23 when he finished this and the ass gets a lot of attention but the hand on Persepina’s side/tummy is also exquisite

before i saw the caption I knew that HAD to be bernini.

I try not to make sweeping statements but I think there’s a case to be made for bernini as the greater sculptor there’s ever been.

here’s his bust of costanza bonarelli

here’s apollo and daphne from the front, where she’s mostly human

from the back, where she’s mostly tree

and details

this is the one art form I genuinely just cannot get my brain to accept as real. I’ve watched sped-up videos of it being done, read about it, seen in-progress marble statues and I still just can’t get it to sink in or stick. My mind doesn’t want to believe that any person has ever been able to start with a big block and break little bits off of it until it looks like a finely detailed person. At some point it has no recognizable shape and they still know where and how deep they should take a chip out of it that’ll still be the right decision 50,000 fucking chips later?!?

Stunning on camera? Try absolutely mind blowing in person. Tears were wept when I saw this with the light and movement in person. Truly, movement while standing still. There is nothing like it in the entire rest of the world. I’m convinced.

I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway

[punk-of-the-opera-deactivated20]

it's over now, the music of the night...

[curtashiism-deactivated20250816]

I can't believe freaking Phantom of the Opera is closing. You know Broadway is hurting if PHANTOM is closing of all shows.

My heart is breaking!

ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) dir. William Wyler

[liesandnights]

To lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given side-eye when you tried to fit in…. you are so worthy of love.
