Name the Artist







We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Not sure, but it looks a little "Grandma Moses-ish" to me.

This is the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) It lives  in the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy.
The fountain was designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for Pope Innocent X.

Re: Name the Artist

In many ways, Bernini is overshadowed by Michelangelo, but for my money Bernini was a much more accomplished sculptor.  Even today artists can't figure out how he did some of the things he did.

Re: Name the Artist

This isn't really a 'name the artist', but since we're talking sculpture, ever since I've seen the types of sculptures I'll post pics of below, I've been completely fascinated as to how they can sculpt a layer over a layer so-to-speak. Like a transclucent shroud over a face or something similar.
