EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculptural group, "St. Theresa transfixed by the love of God". The focus is on the face of St. Theresa, revealing the intricate emotions and spiritual ecstasy portrayed in this masterpiece. Located in the Cornaro Chapel within the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, this artwork represents the epitome of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Created between 1647-1652, Bernini masterfully conveys an abstract concept and symbolizes St. Theresa's existential experience with divine love. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, showcasing both historical significance and artistic appreciation for Bernini's work during that time period. With its timeless appeal, it continues to captivate viewers even today. In this particular detail, we witness St. Theresa adorned with a headdress that adds to her ethereal presence while emphasizing her religious devotion. Her eyes are closed as she experiences a profound connection with God, transcending earthly boundaries. The delicate features of her face are beautifully captured; from her nose to her lips – every contour reflects human psychology intertwined with spirituality. This portrayal not only showcases individual physiological aspects but also delves into deeper psychological realms. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power art holds in expressing complex concepts such as ecstasy and allegory through visual representation. It serves as a testament to Bernini's genius as well as his ability to evoke strong emotions within viewers. This photograph by Anderson from Alinari allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within Renaissance-Baroque art but also encourages contemplation on faith and spirituality that has resonated throughout history across different periods and cultures.
