Santa Maria della Vittoria is a 17th century basilica erected to commemorate the victory of Emperor Ferdinand II in the Battle of Monte Blanco.One of the most important rooms of the church is the Cornaro Chapel, where Bernini's sculpture The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is located. It is one of the most outstanding works of baroque sculpture.The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is considered one of the masterpieces of High Roman Baroque sculpture. It portrays the image of Saint Teresa of Ávila during the mystical gift of transverberation that he describes in his Book of Life.The two main figures that focus attention derive from an episode described by Saint Teresa of Ávila in her autobiographical writing known as the Book of Life, in which the Carmelite nun tells how an angel pierces her heart with a golden dart. The scene captures the moment in which the angel takes out the arrow, and the expression on her face shows the feelings of Saint Teresa, a mixture of pain and pleasure. In her own words:Via an angel appears to me towards the left side in bodily form, which I do not usually see except by wonder. [...] He was not big, but small, very beautiful, his face so flushed that it seemed like that of angels very high, who seem to all be burning. They must be those called Cherubim [...]. In his hands was a long golden dart, and at the end of the iron it seemed to me to have a little fire. This seemed to penetrate my heart sometimes, and reach my core. When I took him out, it seemed to me that he took them with him and left me all burned with the great love of God. It is not bodily pain but spiritual pain, although the body does not fail to participate somewhat, and even to a great extent.Bernini had experience as a set designer and in this work he incorporated the theatrical component. The statue is 3.4 meters high and is illuminated by light from a hidden window, which adds luminosity to the figures. On both sides of the chapel, Bernini placed statues representing members of the Cornaro family, in theater boxes, as if to watch the show. Bernini created the chapel and her statue between 1647 and 1651, when Saint Teresa had just been canonizedIMPORTANT.All our sculptures are made of the highest quality resin.
