Sculptor and architect, Bernini was last of the great geniuses who had made Italy the artistic centre of Europe for over three hundred years. His most famous work of this type is 'The Ecstasy of St Teresa', which, in its place in the Cornaro Chapel, has a breathtakingly beautiful, even visionary, quality.
Howard Hibbard's excellent and uncluttered study traces the evolution of this all-embracing artistic vision. Together with the lavish illustrations, it is an important contribution to the understanding of the age of Baroque and one of its greatest artists.
