Borghese Gallery masterpieces




I can't take credit for these two photos - but this is Bernini's marble: Apollo and Dahpne. The marble carving is so finely carved - the leaves at the top are so thin they are almost transparent.

Caravaggio's Boy with the Flowers is also in the Borghese. The Romans love Caravaggio - many churches have original Caravvagio paintings inside.
