What to look for
Gian Lorenzo Bernini: marble made to move and feel — swirling drapery, flesh pressed by fingers, saints in ecstasy, theatre in stone.
Gian Lorenzo (or Gianlorenzo) Bernini (7 December 1598 – 28 November 1680) was an Italian sculptor, architect, painter and city planner. Bernini's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an uomo universale or Renaissance man. Wikipedia
