As someone mainly interested in 20th century painting, I never would have thought it possible that lifeless stone could be turned into something like this...
Rape of Proserpina, 1622, Galleria Borghese, Rome
Wow, just wow.
Oh, and thank you so much for the wonderful birthday greetings, folks! Feel hugged! You know who you are :-)
