Sculpture is united to architecture. Monumental sculpture. Movement and scenography.
Stefano Maderno
Saint Cecilia
Francesco Mochi
Annunciation: it is a couple of sculptures, the Virgin and an angel.
Alessandro Farnese monument in Piacenza: equestrian sculpture.
Saint Veronica: in San Peter, Rome.
Alessandro Algardi: he did portraits and was the opposite to Bernini, he was more classical.
Tomb of Leo XI
Tomb of Innocent X
Expulsion of Attila: the pope appear as a triumph of the church.
Ercole Ferrata
Angel of Sant’Angelo bridge
Monument of Guilio del Corno
Pietro Bernini
San Martin, Naples
Fontana della Barcaccia (appeared in architecture, in the part of Urbanism)
Gian Lorenzo Bernini: the great sculptor of this period. Naturalism. He made religious and mythological sculptures. Desire of movement with free composition, imbalance and great realism and expression.
Rape of Proserpina: it shows Pluto taking Proserpina to the Underworld. The realism is astounding, personally I love that detail with the hand.
Goat Amalthea: other mythological theme, the goat who took care of Jupiter at the beginning, while the other gods were devoured by Saturn.
David: despite being a religious topic, it is an excuse to rescue the classic thematic of the greek athletes.
Apollo and Daphne: it represents this mythological episode, and you can see Daphne becoming a tree. He plays here with non finito and it is an sculpture that depends where you see it, you will have a different view.
Santa Bibiana
Constanza Bonarelli
Innocent X
Saint Longinus
Ecstasy of Santa Teresa: it is in the Cornaro chapel. This is the perfect example of scenographic sculpture, incrusted in the architecture. The group is the saint and an angel. The rays are made of bronze. It is fantastic the way he worked the clothes, and also the face of the saint.
Blessed Ludovica Albertoni: very similar to the ecstasy of Saint Terese but only appear a figure.
Tomb of Urban VIII
Tomb of Alexander VII
Fontana del Tritone
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi: the famous fountain in Piazza Navona, with the obelisk. The sculptures that appear are representations of the four major rivers of the four continents through which papal authority had spread: the Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Río de la Plata representing the Americas.
Louis XIV
François I
Constantine of the Vatican: movement.
Throne of Saint Peter: it is in the Vatican. Symmetric composition, representations of the masters, use of bronze and behind there is a window with the holy spirit.
Camillo Rusconi
Gregory XIII
San Andrea
Pietro Bracci
Tomb of Maria Clementina Sobieski
Antonio Corradini
His sculptures are fantastic, you can see the body through the clothes. Truly impressive.
