Painting Description
"The Blessed Lodovica Albertoni [detail]" is a renowned Baroque sculpture created by the eminent Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Completed in 1674, this work is a partial representation of the full funerary monument dedicated to Blessed Ludovica Albertoni, a Franciscan tertiary of the Third Order of St. Francis. The sculpture is housed in the Altieri Chapel of the Church of San Francesco a Ripa, located in the Trastevere district of Rome, Italy.
The sculpture captures a moment of mystical ecstasy, depicting the blessed Ludovica Albertoni on her deathbed, with finely carved drapery and an expression of divine rapture. Bernini's mastery of marble is evident in the lifelike textures and the play of light and shadow across the figure's form. The work is considered one of Bernini's later masterpieces, showcasing his continued innovation in sculptural expression and his ability to convey spiritual experiences with intense emotional realism.
The Blessed Lodovica Albertoni is part of a larger composition that includes architectural elements and an accompanying painting, which together create a unified devotional space within the chapel. Bernini's integration of sculpture, architecture, and painting exemplifies the Baroque ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, where multiple art forms are combined to produce a powerful emotional and sensory impact on the viewer.
This sculpture is not only a testament to Bernini's artistic genius but also serves as a significant example of 17th-century religious art, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the veneration of saints. The Blessed Lodovica Albertoni remains a focal point of cultural and artistic interest, drawing visitors and scholars alike to admire its beauty and to study its historical and religious significance.
