OriginalApollo and Daphne is a baroque marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, executed between 1622 and 1625.
Reason
In a follow-up discussion to the below nom I noticed how few FPs of sculptures there currently are. This photo of Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, a prime example of baroque sculpture and the master sculptor's work, presents the subject well with great technical quality. (Looking at various pictures of the setting, the back-lit window appears to be pretty much unavoidable.) Note that I just replaced the original image in the article with a slightly cropped version.

  • The sockpuppetry concern is not a problem, the operator of the accounts is still in good standing on this wiki as the socks haven't been used to violate policy or stack en.wp FPC. See my comments with my admin hat on here. That said, this image could do a little noise reduction but support otherwise. MER-C 20:31, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
