Anything classical
Scaled down from a much larger image, so apparently 16:10 crop was a bit finicky.
I have a picture of the whole sculpture but it's 2big (9MB). Anyway, this close up is very impressive. Bernini had amazing skills.
I have no more, lovely thread though.
This image of Petra was my background for a very long time, seems like behind those columns, inside the darkness, there is another whole world.

It is so freakin majestic! I loved stepping through that threshold. Even though it's just a big empty room, you are surrounded by a volume and history that you can just taste. Been there twice and it blows my mind every time.

I was wondering why that was so familiar, it's a statue in Madrid but the changed the background.

Caravaggio is the best. The head of Holofernes in this painting is actually a self portrait.
