As many know, I have resumed my studies when I returned to pick up given the choice between Applied Mathematics or make art history, so I decided to Art, is a very tough course, very technical matter and words but worth it if you find pictures how are you, I leave the pictures of two sculptures that I have fallen in love at first sight and a little history as a curiosity!
* sleeping *
Hermaphrodite
Hermaphrodite
is of the second century, was discovered in Roma.No tell me what is beautiful?
The sculpture depicts a sleeping Hermaphrodite. Son of Hermes and Aphrodite, of which it is named, Hermaphrodite. As he grew, became a beautiful young nymph Salmacis tried to conquer, and by refusing, dragged him to the bottom of the lake, while pleading with the gods not to allow their bodies apart.
And the gods, moved by the entreaties of the nymph, did the two bodies were merged forever in a being that had attributes of both sexes.
As a curiosity, I will say that Bernini fell for her to see her and carved the mattress on which rests in 1619 .
