The Altar of the Cappella del Sacramento is a significant religious artwork by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an eminent Italian sculptor and architect of the Baroque period. This masterpiece is located within the Cappella del Sacramento (Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament) in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. The altar is a testament to Bernini's ability to integrate sculpture, architecture, and decorative arts into a harmonious and spiritually evocative ensemble.

Commissioned by Pope Alexander VII, the altar was completed in the latter half of the 17th century. It is designed to house the tabernacle, which contains the consecrated Eucharistic host, making it the focal point of the chapel dedicated to the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Bernini's work on the altar is characterized by his signature dramatic use of space, light, and theatricality, which serves to enhance the spiritual experience of the faithful and glorify the sacrament it enshrines.

The altar features a combination of rich materials, including marble, gilt bronze, and precious stones, which were commonly used in Baroque ecclesiastical art to convey a sense of divine splendor. The architectural elements of the altar are designed to frame the tabernacle, which is itself a work of art, often attributed to Bernini's workshop if not to the master himself. Above the tabernacle, a sculptural representation of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, surrounded by a halo of golden rays, emphasizes the sanctity of the space.

The Altar of the Cappella del Sacramento is an important example of Bernini's mature work and his contribution to the artistic heritage of the Vatican. It remains an object of veneration and an attraction for visitors to St. Peter's Basilica, reflecting the enduring legacy of Bernini's artistry in the context of religious devotion and the Baroque aesthetic.
