    Apollo & Daphne I think.

    Edit. I take it back. Looked harder & saw male has crown & beard. Unless it's meant for an earthly king, probably Zeus carrying off some nymph. 'The Rape of ____'

    A truly amazing sculpture!. I am in wonder that someone created that.
    I am also proud of myself for paying attention in @Bronwen ‘s excellent cameo thread lessons as I immediately thought of The Rape of Proserpina when I saw the OPs piece.

    Despite his immense strength Zeus demonstrates proper carry technique using load bearing support.

    To keep her body in that position, Proserpina (Persephone) is working pretty hard too. Bernini made it easier on her.
