Bernini, Lebowski.

One of my favorite sculptures in Rome is Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne,” and I sent postcards of it to friends from Villa Borghese. And while looking at one of the postcards upon my return, it occurred to me that the sculpture from a particular angle is strikingly similar to a shot from The Big Lebowski.

For your consideration.

Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne.

The Dude and Maude.

And I think it’s intentional.
