"The Angel with the Superscription" is a renowned sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an eminent Italian artist widely considered one of the leading figures of the Baroque period. This sculpture is part of a series of ten angelic figures that adorn the Ponte Sant'Angelo, leading to the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. Created in 1669, Bernini's work was commissioned by Pope Clement IX as part of a project to embellish the bridge with sculptures of angels bearing the instruments of the Passion of Christ.

Bernini's "The Angel with the Superscription" is particularly noted for its depiction of an angel holding the superscription, the inscription that Pontius Pilate ordered to be written and placed on the cross during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The inscription, often abbreviated as INRI (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews." This sculpture, like others in the series, showcases Bernini's mastery in capturing the grace and dynamism characteristic of Baroque art, with meticulous attention to detail and an ability to convey deep emotional and spiritual content.

Though Bernini designed all the angels for the bridge, he personally executed only two, with the rest being completed by his pupils under his supervision. "The Angel with the Superscription" stands out for its exquisite craftsmanship and the way it encapsulates the essence of the Baroque movement's emphasis on movement, emotion, and theatricality. The sculpture not only serves as a testament to Bernini's genius and his contributions to the visual arts but also enriches the cultural and historical landscape of Rome, drawing visitors and art enthusiasts from around the world.

Today, "The Angel with the Superscription" remains a significant piece in the study of Baroque sculpture and Bernini's oeuvre, symbolizing the intersection of art, religion, and history during a vibrant period of artistic flourishing in Italy.
