One of the marble sculptures we saw in Rome, Italy was breathe taking. Its the Apollo and Daphne sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini located at the Borghese Gallery. I had no idea a sculpture could have such exquisite details. These pictures do not do it justice.
Depicted is Daphne is being turned into a laurel tree while Apollo chases her in vain.
