EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite marble sculpture known as "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa Avila" by Gianlorenzo Bernini. Located in the Cornaro Chapel within the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, this masterpiece is a testament to both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to around 1646, this artwork showcases Bernini's exceptional talent for capturing emotion and movement in stone. The sculpture depicts St. Teresa Avila, a prominent Spanish mystic and writer, experiencing a divine ecstasy as an angel pierces her heart with a golden arrow. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 and offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate not only the intricate details of Bernini's work but also the architectural elements surrounding it. The Cornaro Chapel features grand columns, an elegant portico, and a stage-like structure that enhances the dramatic effect of the sculpture. In this image, we see St. Teresa dressed in religious attire surrounded by other clergy members who are engaged in conversation with her. Their presence adds depth to the scene while reflecting society and politics during Europe's first and second millenniums. Alinari Fratelli beautifully captured this momentous artwork through their lens, highlighting its significance within art history. This print serves as a reminder of Bernini's genius craftsmanship and his ability to create sculptures that evoke powerful emotions within viewers. Whether you are drawn to religious art or simply appreciate masterpieces from different periods, this photograph allows you to experience firsthand one of Rome's most treasured artistic gems – "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa Avila.
