"The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa" (Italian: L'Estasi di Santa 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 quintessential examples of Bernini's ability to combine architecture, sculpture, and theater into a cohesive and dynamic artistic experience.

The work depicts a moment described by Saint Teresa of Ávila in her autobiography, where she experienced a spiritual ecstasy in her encounter with an angel. Bernini captures the moment of divine rapture as the angel gently pierces her heart with a golden arrow, symbolizing the intense love of God. The saint is shown reclining on a cloud, her body swept by a profound passion that blurs the lines between spiritual and physical realms.

Bernini's sculpture is celebrated for its technical virtuosity, emotional intensity, and innovative use of multimedia effects, including strategically placed hidden light sources that enhance the drama of the scene. The marble figures are rendered with such delicacy that the viewer can almost sense the textures of flesh and fabric, a testament to Bernini's mastery of the medium.

The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is not only a high point of Bernini's own career but also a defining work of the Roman Baroque period. Its theatricality and emotional power reflect the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through direct and emotive religious experiences. The sculpture continues to draw admiration from both art historians and the general public, remaining a powerful example of the intersection between art and spirituality in the 17th century.
