What the word "master" looks like.

Saw this one in person....most incredible piece of art I've ever seen.

The trick is to use your elbow/shoulder and to keep your wrist locked! And to push away as you draw it

Imagine warming that with your hands

The amount of skill is truely remarkable.

Bernini was a badass. Check out Frederick Hart.

Art used to be something great, something beautiful and meaningful. Then bad artists became the majority and decided that "art = shit".

Black sails?
Tryno15
Yes definitely black sails
mikeandrews2009

I feel as if the longer I look at it the more it looks as if the hand is slowly squeezing the thigh.

I'll always remember that his last work was some pillar caps for a damn bridge. I think he had his apprentice do most of it.

Astoundingly beautiful realistic & sensual from this small shot. But it's a RAPE so that pressure is violence. BERNINI, Rape of Proserpina.
JimJamesJimothyHalpert
Oh well. Still a masterpiece
JohnnyLawlessEsq
That's the whole point. It's a magnificent, achingly beautiful work of art, and then you remember what it depicts.
MattyFerreira
It does expresses pain though and that is somehow beautiful
Claystead
Well, it is rape in the old meaning, kidnapping.
JohnnyLawlessEsq
No, it's rape as in rape. Kidnapping was usually part of it, but penises were definitely involved.

Claystead
Yes, but it IS different from the current definition. For example, the Vikings kidnapping women for forced marriage was also rapine.
JohnnyLawlessEsq
You realize that "forced marriage" was a euphemism, right?

Rape of Proserpina by Bernini
johny3in
It had to be Bernini!!
DogTaxEvader
BTW, always been puzzled by that translation. The original "ratto" forcefully taking the girl away with you, so more "kidnap" than "rape".
Disgruntled3lf
Well I mean you probably weren't taking her to join your D&D group ya know?
DogTaxEvader
Even so (not 100% sure), it's at least two very different phases (kidnap, rape), and the statues depicts the first, not the second.

I saw this in the gallery di Borghese in Rome! I was amazed by the detail. Little Cerberus below this part pictured
SeriousCloud
doesntmatter
That's slander, Bernini raped noone
doodledee
I can't believe he was 23 when he finished this. I feel like such a failure in comparison.
godofpencilshavings
He literally had nothing else to do
kirmokum
no TV and no internet.

Crawl back into your bottle, Bernini boy.
Laylah77
His skill was incredible
McKavian
I am glad you put this, because I was thinking The Rape of Persephone. Phenomenal sculpture, amazing details.
crackspider
Could have sworn it's Rodin
Laylah77
Rodin? Not by a long shot... Rodin's style is hulking and brutal. Just sayin'

Well fuck me, still hard to believe i'ts from 17th century
yesihavenobananas
It's a masterpiece
iwillbeback
You may have thought it would be rodins "the kiss". But if you look closely, you can see there is more movement and the butt is elevated1/2
iwillbeback
So it is the rape of proserpina. In rodins Kiss, the female is sitting. Tricked me too at first sight 2/2
Disgruntled3lf
It was the beard curls in the upper left that gave it away for me.
iwillbeback
True too!
MrAwful
What's your favorite sculpture? *Thinking: Rape of Persephone* "i don't know."
flavivsaetivs
"What's your favorite Mosaic?" Me: "Slaughter of the innocents... interpret that how you will."
Disgruntled3lf
I just say, Bernini's Persephone. I live in the south. These rednecks aren't about to look it up.
Axelord
Because Rednecks will ask you about your favorite sculpture... Right?
Iamfergy
flavivsaetivs
I live in the south, can confirm.
Iamfergy
Me too
ImaLumberjackAndImAlrightAlrightAlright
I'm from the South. The riverlands will burn for this. Northern scum.

Not w good subject matter. But beautiful, the detail is incredible, stone looks like fabric and skin perfectly
Pyrokar
Imagine being so good you don't fuck that up
dilbobaggins
They'd have teams of guys who specialized at certain parts of statues work together to make this arm. Skindentation guy, fabric guy, etc.
vihra
I'm sorry... I can't.
comacomacomacomachameleon
I bet he jerked it to his statues.
ElonMustToke
hell, I'm going to jerk it to his statues
PokoOnoandtheJamJams
I'm not even good enough to be able to imagine being this good
ZanarkandAbes
I'd reckon being that good meant kings, popes and emperors kept you on their payroll.
XtremeHairball
And maybe even Oprah
OneCoolFrood
Poprah.
KiLSKi66
King Poprah of the Western Isles, Duke of Longshire, and Emperor of the known world not important enough to name specifically.
OneCoolFrood
And a right proper lad.
DavidBrooker
Imagine how many butts you'd have to grab before you knew what looked right... you know, for art.
Imhonestlypartying
I wanna see a gallery of all the great artists practice sculptures
ZanarkandAbes
I bet there's a lot of dicks.
pirate4lifes
Yes
ArtOzz
I, in fact, can. Im good what I do and do stuff like that in other physical trials, especially motion. The trick is not the think about it.
ArtOzz
If you do think about it, you tend to fuck it up. Dont think, just do it as you normally would when theres nothing on the line. Then laugh.
fishbone1220
Nope. Nope nope nope. Do as little as possible without thinking.

Hell yeah. Trick to being good: fail, fail, fail, dont stop.

And have money to keep you supplied in materials so you can keep failing until you succeed
