Description:
|
|
The unity of sculpture, painting and architecture makes the chapel one of Bernini's greatest achievements. He was commissioned by the Venetian Cardinal Federigo Cornaro (1579-1653) to decorate a small chapel forming the left transept of the early 17th-century church. The patron wanted to construct a mortuary chapel for himself, commemorate seven other distinguished members of his family and, especially, honor St. Teresa of Avila, the 16th-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite reformer canonized in 1622. Guido Ubaldo Abbatini painted the vision of clouds and angels in the vault above Bernini’s marble group of Saint Teresa in Ecstasy. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart. com/)
