Unit 5: Bernini

It is absolutely obvious that Bernini was a tremendous talented artist committed to give his greatest potential to the world. The way he defies gravity and captures vivid emotions and textures in his sculptures defines him as a unique and original sculptor. When I knew that his father was a sculptor from Florence I supposed that he was going to perfect his father’s surprising techniques but he surpassed everything and everybody actually. His work as an artists is magnificent and extraordinary. The “Ecstasy of Saint Teresa” and the bust of his beloved Constanza, I believe those are the most beautiful and realistic sculptures I have ever seen. The way that he is portrayed in the video allows people to get a superhuman perception of him. He was completely committed to his art, reputation and love life. What I think about what he really was, is that he was an extremely hard working person who loved to do what nature gave him as a talent. Thus, he did not have the necessity to avoid real life with substances and unrealistic problems such as Caravaggio and most artists, actually. Because Bernini worked hard enough to make himself a name and a reputation by making unconditionally what he loved to do, that make him move mountains in world of art.
