About the Work

One of the major Bolognese masterpieces is rendered in LEGO and represent a tribute to the prestigious and laudable history of art rooted in the Bolognese school of XVII century.

Directly inspired by the painting of Guido Reni (the version in the collection of Museo Capodimonte in Naples), Ai Weiwei makes an ironic remake of this subject, taken from Ovid's Metamorphose: a race for love, a deception with three golden apples, Atalanta and Hippomenes comrades in running and hunting.
