	Harvard University Art Museums - Press releases, 1998
		In 1633 Pope Urban VIII Barberini commissioned Bernini to design a tomb in Saint Peter's Basilica for the Countess Matilda (1046-1115), the benefactress of the Church who effected a reconciliation between Pope and Emperor.
		The Falk bronze is one of two casts of the Countess Matilda-the other remaining in Barberini ownership-that appear to be especially close to a lost clay model, preserving an appearance found in such works, notably striations across the rear of the base and down the back of the figure's garment.
		The Countess Matilda therefore takes her place as the Art Museums' first acquisition of 1998 in the new installation Gian Lorenzo Bernini: Sketches in Clay opening in a permanent collection gallery of the Fogg Art Museum on February 28, 1998.
