quote [ The Rape of Proserpina is a large marble sculptural group by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, completed in 1622, when Bernini was only 23 years old.
It depicts the Abduction of Proserpina, where Proserpina is seized and taken to the underworld by the god Pluto. The artist said “I defeated marble and modeled it like wax” when he presented his work. ] Five minutes of culture :)

It's ok, dave. Everybody does it. It's perfectly normal. No need for embarrassment. Just always have a backup post ready for when it happens.

Those guys were freaking amazing. He finished this when he was 23? He must have started it when he was 13.
