Max Contemplates Bernini’s Pluto and ProserpinaGian Lorenzo Bernini
From a marble-framed threshold, Max observes Bernini’s Pluto and Proserpina (1621–22), a triumph of Baroque sculpture. Commissioned by Scipione Borghese, it captures the violent abduction of Proserpina with astonishing realism. The softness of flesh, the twisting bodies, and the psychological drama evoke awe—and reflection.
