A docent-led reading of Bernini's marble group in the Galleria Borghese, in which Daphne turns into a laurel tree at the instant Apollo catches her. The tour explains the Ovidian subject, then connects the visible choices of carving, pose and surface to the meaning of the transformation.
A marble portrait bust of King Louis XIV, carved by Gian Lorenzo Bernini during his 1665 visit to Paris and now displayed at the Palace of Versailles. The sculpture records a rare moment when the king agreed to sit for his portrait and captures his royal presence in stone.
A short docent's tour of Bernini's white marble sculpture of Saint Teresa of Avila, made between 1645 and 1652 and now in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. The account keeps to the supplied record and the source's own limits.
