EDITORS COMMENTS
Damned Soul, a captivating marble sculpture crafted by the renowned Gianlorenzo Bernini, stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. This exquisite piece resides within the Church of Santa Maria in Montserrato but has found its current home in the Embassy of Spain to the Holy See in Rome. Captured through Anderson's lens between 1915-1920, this photograph immortalizes Bernini's timeless creation dating back to 1619. The artist himself, Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), is celebrated for his ability to breathe life into stone, and Damned Soul exemplifies his exceptional talent. The sculpture embodies an allegory that explores abstract concepts and symbols while showcasing various parts of the human body. With its nude form and meticulously carved head, it evokes both fascination and contemplation. The intricate details capture every nuance: from the fury emanating from its eyes to the violence etched upon its contorted mouth and lips. Bernini seamlessly blends elements from both Renaissance and Baroque periods in Europe, creating a harmonious fusion that transcends time. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, they are transported back through centuries of artistic expression. This photograph serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with beauty captured in stone—a testament to our desire for self-expression throughout history. It invites us to ponder on themes such as sin, redemption, or even mortality itself. Through Anderson's lens, we are granted a glimpse into not only Bernini’s genius but also our collective appreciation for art that speaks directly to our souls.
