In one sculpture by this artist, an elderly man holds up a statue while being carried by a younger man, and a toddler peeks around that second figure's legs.
In one sculpture by this artist, an elderly man holds up a statue while being carried by a younger man, and a toddler peeks around that second figure's legs. This sculptor of Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius depicted two figures twisted into a figura serpentina in his Rape of Proserpine. One of his most famous works includes a manifestation of the (*) Nile with his head draped in cloth, and he sculpted a notably contorted and determined representation of David about to release his sling. Golden rays of light appear behind an angel piercing the title writhing saint with a spear in another of this man's sculptures. For 10 points, name this Italian sculptor of The Fountain of the Four Rivers and The Ecstasy of St. Theresa.
