A Few More Snaps from the Galleria Borghese
Bernini's version of David winding up to slay Goliath--David has Bernini's face.
Another famed sculpture by the long-lived artist. He lived into his 80's. On our last day, we saw one of his last works in a church in Trastevere.
I don't know if this bust is by Bernini, but like the old man in the previous post, I liked it.
It took us every bit of the allowed 2 hours to appreciate this compact treasure house. Promptly when our time was up, security guards shooed us all out. Fortunately there is a website and You Tubes about the Galleria, so we can always "virtual visit" if we want.
