minus-squarecygnuslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoIf considering an artist’s whole career, I have to give it to Bernini. I have a soft spot for polymaths, and his sculptures in particular are still outstanding to this day. My favourite single piece is this Roman bust, currently in the Hermitage, by an unknown artist (I guess I have a thing for realistic busts?) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExlzPDDWgAAXudy?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
