Medusa 

This marble sculpture of Medusa, by the renowned Italian Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, is a masterpiece of realism and dramatic expression. It portrays the mythical Gorgon with a chilling intensity, capturing the terror of her gaze and the writhing serpents that form her hair. Located in the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Rome, the sculpture serves as a powerful reminder of Bernini’s mastery of form and the ability to imbue even mythological subjects with a tangible sense of life.
