Anyone familiar with the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa will know that Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the greatest sculptor of the Roman Baroque, had to have been a deeply religious man. Nothing less than divine inspiration could have enabled him to create the works stamped with his trademark devotion--the extraordinarily vivid angels, seemingly descended directly from heaven in a swirl of fluid drapery, are instilled with awe and holy adoration that transcend the earthly constraints of clay...
...inauguration of the exhibit Gian Lorenzo Bernini: Sketches in Clay, in a permanent collection gallery of the Fogg Art Museum celebrates the quartercentenary of Bernini's birth. The works on display are studies for some of Bernini's most important projects, including the design for the sculptural decoration for the Ponte Sant' Angelo, the Tiber River bridge for pilgrims approaching St. Peter's Basilica and the architectural and sculptural setting for the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa...

"The skies are not for the most powerful or for the most aggressive," the Rev. Lorenzo Casarotti told mourners in the Dolomite mountain village of CAVALESE. "They are for everyone."

The current show of 51 of his paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, co-curated by art historians David Alan Brown, Peter Humfrey and Mauro Lucco, is actually the first ever held in the U.S. It can't pretend to give a full view of Lotto, the bulk of whose work consisted of some 40 altarpieces in various towns in northern Italy...
