The Rape of Proserpina. One of my favorite pieces. It was created by Bernini between 1621-1622. The movement, the facial expressions... yes. But my favorite part of this piece is none of these really, it's Poseidon's hand grasping her thigh.
The fact that Bernini could make Proserpina's thigh look like this...it's beyond words.
The Rape of the Sabine Women by Giambologna. The poses of the figures and the twisting movement that occurs between the three of them is brilliant.
