	Bernini, Gianlorenzo
		Young Gianlorenzo soon surpassed his father in excellence, however, as is known from the principal sources of information on Bernini: the biography by Filippo Baldinucci in 1682 and the biography by the artist's son Domenico in 1713.
		Bernini later created the tombs (1628-1647 and 1671-1678, respectively; Saint Peter's) of Urban VIII and Alexander VII that, in their use of active three-dimensional figures, differ markedly from the purely architectural approach to the sepulchral monument taken by previous artists.
		Bernini's immense Cathedra Petri (Chair of Saint Peter, 1657-1666), in the apse of Saint Peter's, employs marble, gilt bronze, and stucco in a splendid crescendo of motion, made all the more dramatic by the golden oval window in its center that becomes the focal point of the entire basilica.

	Biography
		Bernini created the Baroque style of sculpture and developed it to such an extent that other artists are of only minor importance in a discussion of that style.
		Bernini's sensual awareness of the surface textures of skin and hair and his novel sense of shading broke with the tradition of Michelangelo and marked the emergence of a new period in the history of Western sculpture.
		Bernini's most spectacular religious decoration is the Throne of St Peter, or the Cathedra Petri (1657-66), a gilt-bronze cover for the medieval wooden throne (cathedra) of the pope.

		Bernini - The Sculptor of the Roman Baroque
		But Bernini, though properly aware of the magnitude of his skills and achievements, always competitive and ready to fight for the honour and profit of his firm his family studio and its many assistants was a humble man. His only recorded praise of any of his works was 'it is the least bad'.
		Bernini was less lucky, for his design for a new Louvre, the ostensible reason for his visit, was discarded and his great equestrian statue of the king, eventually delivered at the end of Bernini's life, was dishonoured.

		He was an exceptional portrait artist and owes to his father his accomplished techniques in the handling of marble and also an impressive list of patrons that included the Borghese and the Barbarini families.
		The work is a prime example of Bernini's vision of a decorative whole combining different materials and colours within an architectural space.
		A succession of powerful patrons in Rome and in Paris assured his reputation as an entrepreneurial artist who captured the spirit of the Counter-Reformation.

	"Past Masters: Gianlorenzo Bernini" - Gallery Walk Guide, February 2004
		The undisputed monarch of the Roman High Baroque, and one of the three or four most influential artists in Europe in the seventeenth century, was Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), architect and sculptor of genius, and also painter, dramatist, and composer.
		Born in Naples of a Florentine father and Neapolitan mother, he seems to have combined the intellectuality of the former with the passionate nature of the latter.
		Bernini has seized on the second in which the panting god, in hot pursuit of the chaste Daphne (Ovid, Metamorphoses I: 450-567), is foiled when she calls on her father, the river-god Peneus, for rescue and is transformed into a laurel tree.
