This is ostensibly a photo of Bernini's amazing sculpture, "Ratto di Proserpina", in the Galleria #Borghese, Rome, but the opulent decoration of the room as #Background nearly upstages the marble masterpiece.

A man with red hair and beard, wearing glasses, visible from shoulders up, stands in front of a marble statue of a three-headed dog (on a pedestal). He smiles, but it's an ambiguous smile, of amusement and terror: he might be attacked by the fierce dog at any moment.
This is my favorite portrait of Pat. He's standing near Bernini's "Ratto di Proserpina", in the Galleria Borghese, Rome. One of Cerberus's 3 heads is looking aggressive; Pat's expression says "he's right behind me, isn't he?"

This virtuosic sculpture, bigger than life-size (243 cm/ 96 in high) in marble, by Bernini, depicts Apollo, left, pursuing Daphne. He's just about caught her, but she cries out to her father for help--so she's turned into a tree, a process just beginning to happen: see the leaves sprouting from her upraised fingers, and the bark forming about her lower body. Poor Apollo: foiled again!
Surely this is one of the most beautiful things one can do with #Stone : this marble sculpture, "Apollo & Daphne" (1622-25), by Gian Lorenzo #Bernini. It is a star attraction at the Galleria Borghese, Rome.

The Padiglione dell'Uccelliera (Aviary) in Rome's Villa Borghese was part of the same building project as the Borghese Gallery (17th C) and featured exotic birds. The structure is decorated with Borghese's symbols like eagles and dragons. #photography #travel #tourism #rome #italy #borghese #aviary
