The "Torso of Neptune" is a terracotta sculpture created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1620. Currently on display at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, the sculpture depicts the Roman god Neptune. The figure is shown with a powerful, muscular physique, a detail characteristic of Bernini's style, which emphasizes realism and drama. The sculpture's incomplete nature adds a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to imagine the full figure of Neptune.
