    A 23 yr old with a hammer and chisel made this

    The Abduction of Proserpina is a magnificent marble sculpture created by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1621 and 1622. It depicts the abduction of Proserpina, who is seized and taken to the underworld by the god Pluto.

      It's hard to imagine someone carved that out of a solid block of marble.

        Today's "artists" just duct tape a banana to the wall or shit in an acrylic box. Why make all the effort to chisel stone?

          Ita (1503).jpg If you go to the European museums, Louvre in Paris, Galleria della Academia di Firenze in Florence, even the Vatican and you freak out how those folks could turn so many beautiful things in such a short time. I've got hundreds of pictures from Florence, it's amazing. Look at this one piece of stone.

          But...but...we've been repeatedly told sub-Saharan Africans built the Pyramids, great cities, art, music, and could FLY. Try topping THAT, whitey.

            I was in a bar this weekend. TVs everywhere with nig ball going on so I was forced to watch it. I saw a receiver run the ball for a touchdown and thought to myself if the coon's intellect was anywhere near his ability to run they would rule the world. Sad that 20% of the population is so useless.

          If muzzies ever take control, they'll take a sledgehammer to all of it.
