Bernini Sculpture First Public View Since 1621

It was a privilege to see a sculpture when it went on public view for the first time since it was created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1621.  The masterpiece was originally kept in the Villa Borghese in Rome and whereabouts have been unknown until 2014 when The Getty Museum acquired it.  www.getty.edu/museum
