In which Shakespeare's play does a statue come to life?

The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, originally published in the First Folio of 1623. Although it was grouped among the comedies, some modern editors have relabelled the play as one of Shakespeare's late romances. Some critics consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.

Hermione, Queen of Sicily, is the lovely wife of King Leontes and the doting mother of Mamillius and Perdita. After she’s unfairly accused of cheating on her husband, she’s thrown into prison, where she gives birth, prematurely, to a daughter (Perdita). Soon after, she stands trial for adultery and treason, during which we’re told she is dead. Sixteen years later, however, she’s “resurrected” and reunited with her family in one of Shakespeare’s most astonishing scenes.

When Hermione’s life-like statue, which is supposed to have been created by the artist Giulio Romano, seemingly comes to life in the play’s final act, audiences are usually just as shocked and amazed by the dramatic scene as the characters on stage.
