Top Collection 14-Inch Greek God Pluto and Proserpina Statue by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680). Premium Cold Cast Marble. Museum-Grade Masterpiece Replica.

Excellent!!!

I once saw the real statue in Italy and have always loved it. This reproduction is even more beautiful than I'd hoped for. At 14" high it seems a bit taller than I thought it would be, but overall it is really quite stunning and very detailed. The facial details, the curls of Pluto's hair and beard, the folds of Persephone's dress, the delicate hands and toes (even with nails as a detail), and best of all, Pluto's fingers pressing into her flesh and showing the dimples of the pressure just as in the original, just a beautiful beautiful reproduction from every angle and this is a statue that must be viewed from all angles. This statue was packed in a box labeled "Studio Collection" by Veronese Design, and I was a bit shocked when it was delivered within 2 days by Fed Ex (I have Amazon Prime) without any outer box to further protect and cushion it. Inside the box, the statue was firmly wedged into a thick molded foam protection custom made for the statue and box so the fit was tight (statue also wrapped in plastic), yet there certainly must have been a great possibility of breakage considering the statue's delicate fingers, Persephone's raised arm, and flowing material that also sticks out from the statue. At this price, I'm just surprised the box didn't have a substantially padded outer box as well. Fortunately, my statue arrived in perfect condition and I'm really beyond pleased.

It would be impractical to expect an exact replica under $500.00, but they got really close for $130.00. No casual viewer would be able to spot any differences, in fact I bet even most fans of the real statue would have a very hard time telling what was details were missed without reference pictures at hand. I can't imagine a fan of the original work not being happy with this reproduction.

I teach high school Latin. Artifacts/good reproductions like this make a huge difference in keeping teens’ interest and making the day memorable. This is detailed enough for me to point out what makes Bernini’s work so special. Gratias, amice!

Beautiful statue, solid and detailed.

I'm a huge fan of Bernini and when I chose Pluto & Proserpina first, I was wondering about of quality of it. But after this amazing sculpture came, (in 2 days) I was astonished by the exquisite details right down to the fingernails, and best of all, Pluto's fingers pressing into the flesh os Prosperina, and showing the dimples of the pressure just as in the original, or even Proserpina's tear is visible. So rightway I bought Apollo & Daphne. Frankly. I'm really beyond pleased and I'm waiting patiently for the second one.

best purchase of the year i literally could not be happier with the quality and care. Gian Lorenzo Bernini would be proud and honored to have this replication of his work. super solid and heavy piece, it’s the perfect height to show off your love for this lore (my actual photos of the product, one w enhanced contrast since i took it outside at night the other no filter so you can see the true colors and definition)

I loved this staue, BUT unfortunately once I received it I found the base was shipped.
