Painting Description
"The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa" is a renowned sculptural masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, created between 1647 and 1652 as the central element of the Cornaro Chapel in Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome. This Baroque sculpture is considered one of the most significant examples of religious art and is a vivid representation of mystical experience, capturing a moment described by Saint Teresa of Ávila in her autobiography, where she recounts the vision of an angel piercing her heart with a golden arrow, causing her both immense pain and divine ecstasy.
Bernini's work is a tour de force of marble sculpting, showcasing his extraordinary ability to convey complex emotions and spiritual rapture through the interplay of form, light, and texture. The sculpture group depicts Saint Teresa, reclined on a cloud, in a state of divine rapture, with the angel beside her, delicately holding the arrow. The figures are illuminated from above by a hidden window, which, combined with gilded rays and painted backdrop, creates a theatrical effect that enhances the sense of otherworldly experience.
The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is not only a pivotal work in Bernini's oeuvre but also a defining piece of the Roman Baroque period. It embodies the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on direct emotional involvement and dramatic intensity in religious art, aiming to inspire piety and devotion in the viewer. The sculpture's dynamic composition, lifelike details, and emotional depth exemplify Bernini's genius and continue to draw the admiration of art historians, scholars, and visitors from around the world.
