Bernini Virtual Tour – Bringing Marble to Life
Prepare for an unforgettable virtual journey through Rome as we uncover the extraordinary works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the brilliant master of the Baroque era!
Who exactly was Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and how did this child prodigy rise to dominate Rome’s artistic scene for nearly five decades in the 1600s?
Bernini was more than just an architect—he was a gifted sculptor, painter, and even a playwright. As the leading figure of the Baroque movement, his creative genius left a lasting imprint on Rome’s art and architecture.
Every corner of Rome’s historic center whispers Bernini’s legacy: the angels gracing Ponte Sant’Angelo, the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona, the towering baldachin over St. Peter’s Basilica’s high altar, the dramatic Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, the playful elephant obelisk near Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the captivating Apollo and Daphne at the Borghese Gallery, and the charming bee fountain on Via Veneto—just to name a few.
Bernini’s remarkable career was deeply intertwined with the powerful popes of his time. He served eight popes and countless cardinals, designing fountains, palaces, churches, and grand tombs throughout the city. Today, he is celebrated as the last great Italian genius, following in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
