Iz Bernini!

Yes, these images are large. Yes, you will let them load and enjoy them anyway. Bernini's architectural work and other sculptures were also awesome. But I think this one is my fave. I wish there was a better hi-res pic of the whole thing. And of the toes turning to wood as Apollo catches her. Wow. The leaves. OOOH.
