Cover of Exhibition.

Three different black and white pictures of Bernini's "Apollo and Daphne" sculpture. Bernini’s life-sized marble sculpture of “Apollo and Daphne” is regarded as one of his most powerful and emotional works. The work was commissioned in 1622 by Cardinal Scipione Borghese and was initially placed in his villa.
