The other night at pottery me and a few friends were discussing one of my favorite sculptures, Bernini's Ecstasy of St. Teresa. When I went to Rome this was one of the things on the top of my list of must-see works of art, and it did not disappoint! It is located in a smaller church, less crowded with tourist than most of the other usual Roman sites, which made for an awesome experience. In looking up information on the internet about this sculpture I found a really cool site if you are interested in learning more about famous works of art and art history. There was a ton of information about Bernini and his sculptures, photos, and videos too. Check, check, check it out!
