David – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1623–1624) Bernini’s version depicts the biblical hero mid-action, in the act of slinging the stone at Goliath.
Apollo and Daphne – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1622–1625). This sculpture captures the dramatic moment from Ovid’s Metamorphoses when Apollo, in pursuit, reaches for Daphne as she transforms into a laurel tree.
Apollo and Daphne (Alternate View) – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Another angle of the same sculpture, showing Daphne’s transformation more clearly.
Council of the Gods – By Giovanni Battista Ricci (attributed). A ceiling fresco in the Borghese Gallery depicting a mythological scene of Jupiter and the gods.
Today, I walk where she walked, seeing what she saw. Time moved swiftly for her, but her story lingers with my family. In her footsteps, I remember. A century apart, we are still connected—through history, through memory. #BorgheseGallery #FamilyHistory 3/3 #Genealogy

100 years ago today, my great grand aunt, Elizabeth Laura ‘Lizzie’ Folsom Carman, stood in the #BorgheseGallery on her Grand Tour. A family historian, she was drawn to the past, tracing stories across Europe. #Genealogy #GrandTour #Rome 1/3
