EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite sculpture of the "Ecstasy of Saint Theresa of Avila" by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created between 1647 and 1652, this masterpiece resides in the Cornaro chapel at Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, Italy. The sculpture depicts Saint Theresa of Avila, a prominent figure in the Carmelite order and Catholic mysticism. With her eyes closed and body gracefully contorted, she appears to be experiencing a profound religious ecstasy. The intricate details bring out her delicate features and flowing robes, while an angel hovers above her with a golden arrow ready to pierce her heart. Bernini's baroque style is evident in every curve and expression captured within this work of art. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the sculpture, enhancing its emotional impact on viewers. Through this photograph taken by Stefano Baldini, we are transported back to the early 17th century when religious fervor was at its peak. This image not only showcases Bernini's artistic genius but also highlights the power of faith that transcends time and connects us with centuries-old traditions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in devotion and spirituality across different cultures and eras.
