Apollo and Daphne Lovers, Lost Wax Bronze Statue by Bernini

Description This bronze is about the myth of Apollo and Daphne, a story about love, lust and  rejection. It’s a tale about the power of love and the power of Cupid (or Eros in Greek) who can even blind the most powerful amongst the Greek Gods. In the myth, Apollo falls madly in love with Daphne, a woman sworn to remain a virgin. Apollo hunts Daphne who refuses to accept his advances and Daphne asks her father for help. Right at the moment he catches her, she turns into a laurel tree, a scene famously depicted in this beautiful Apollo and Daphne sculpture. Beautiful hand cast lost wax bronze sculpture. Cast by the superior lost wax process and finished in natural color patinas. Mounted on a black marble base with a brass pate bearing the name of the statue and the artist. Makes a wonderful valentine, wedding or engagement and anniversary gift. This item is made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery. Dimensions: 19″H x 8″W.
