Gian Lorenzo Bernini: The Baroque Genius Who Redefined Sculpture

[@redstar19]

the once in a lifetime experience to see Bernini's sculpture at Borghese gallery...speechless.

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

I've yet to see anyone make anything even close to his brilliant sculptures. He was the one and only. Every single tiny detail is astonishing.

[@2Sugarbears]

Probably because he didn't create them.

[@bozboz4414]

Lets see A.I. do that!!! The hand pressing into her flesh is maybe the single most remarkable "art" I've ever seen...other artists can't even DRAW hands and feet very well

[@idratherstayanonimous7020]

Ironically, the voice narrating this video is some A.I. stuff. But i agree with your perspective.

[@Sajuuk]

Your ignorance is astonishing. Cry more 😂🤦

There is many more slight touches to other artists statues as well. But the internet is filled with Michaelangelo and bernini

What a gift he left to the world. I’m so proud to have Italian heritage in my blood. What a maestro.

[@herenowlife]

Pity about some of his behaviour though especially to his partner

[@traumatizedcritic8679]

[@incognito3620]

I want to cry. I am overcome when I look at these sculptures. They are beyond ecstatic. They are truly spiritual. The St Lawrence work is breathtaking when you look at it. You tremble in its presence. You must see these in person not on a computer or iPhone.

[@jesjes5255]

i did stand before it and cried at its beauty. i would go back to Firenze just to gaze once more at St Lawrence

[@paillette2010]

The reverence in the photography of Bernini’s work is quite wonderful.

[@tr7b410]

This decade in art & sculpture was just amazing & reflects how a grouping of souls incarnated at a similar timeline to push & inspire each other to greatness.

[@gideonros2705]

Wonderful yo read that someone understands how souls incarnate to fulfil and expand soul values.

[@bebomora7391]

Yes! The hand pressing into her flesh is absolutely amazing.i would love to see these sculptures in person I wouldn’t be able to tear myself away ❤❤

[@johanericsson2403]

I visited the Cornaro Chapel in Rome with the Ecstasy of St Teresa when I was 18, really a profound experience - like walking into another world. The sculpture itself has this "visionary" effect, I don't know how to explain it, but it's as if you're looking at it through heat waves, or a dream haze. It's actually carved that way. It has this kind of energetic "flow" in the composition of the figures and especially the drapery, as if everything is made of flame. You can see it in the photographs.

[@andyroo9381]

This documentary was a taste of pure ecstasy.

[@incognito3620]

Bernini was one of the rare geniuses of the time. equal to Michelangelo. These artists are unequaled then and now. We will never witness this brilliance again.

[@French-Kiss24]

When I bought a ticket to enter the Villa Boghese, I only knew that there was an art gallery there. When I came across Apollo and Daphne, I was awe struck. My first question was how on earth did he get the sculpture to balance? It looks as if it should fall forward. And then the details . . . It is a beautiful piece. Then I saw the Rape sculpture. I’ll never forget how he made the marble, flesh. Years later I went back to Rome for a short stay. But by then I was familiar with Bernini. So I went to see Saint Theresa. Thank you for the artistic and sensitive approach to this video. I love seeing the closeup photography of the works. Also that there is just enough dialogue to introduce us to the work, and then silence.

[@IrishAnnie]

Astonished at the skill of her turning into a tree. One false move, one wrong hit of the hammer, it would have been ruined. We looked at it and wondered how he pulled that off…..genius.

[@pchabanowich]

The genius is in the synthesis of the meta-view with loving detail. The works are appearances, ghostly solidities, mythic ephemera made mortal... such a dance was his life! A visiting god among us.💫💥🌻

[@RingJando]

Impossible! Thank you for this feat of sheer magic!

[@oarsquare5154]

Fantastic video. Thank you!

[@mikekenney1947]

I crave the viewing of fine art when I travel. It is like I’m trying to cram into my congested skull that of which I cannot conceive. All over Italy, Bernini swept me away not because I’m smart but because I’m dull and need the inspiration he provides.

[@m.elsadiazdiaz6556]

Breathtaking

[@hagfish_]

The music when it's just looking at sculptures sounds like the music from Pillars of Eternity 1.

[@nssotomayor]

Thank you so much for a video in which the sculptures are filmed in such detail! It’s such a pleasure to see them so well !

[@9451hen]

professional filming, professional script and in depth analysis, as the name of this group, learn from Masters, and, hopefully i did.

[@pinkworld9384]

When i go visit La Villa La Virgen de Guadalupe Cathedral in Mexico City next to it is a museum and it houses a tiny sculpture of Bernini! Viva Gian Lorenzo Bernini!♥️

[@elvirgil3588]

La "extravagancia" de Bernini es en realidad la capacidad mágica del Maestro de transformar la piedra en un ser viviente, palpitante, ninguno como él para crear VIDA. Excelnte video, BRAVO!!!!

[@johndorilag4129]

Bernini and Michelangelo were two of the greatest sculptors of all time.

[@2209009pm]

How is such detail posable?

[@pongsakvittayarumpa9233]

Brilliant !

[@pete-mz9vr]

[@EbenLenz-fl1hi]

The Baldachin was made from the bronze lining of the portico of the Pantheon. The Pantheon was perhaps the most famous ancient structure because of its remarkable level of preservation. This “Upcycling” of an ancient artifact was controversial in its day.

[@holgermessner851]

When we hear, that artists in the early years, made sculptures of such perfection when they were 14 or 16 years of age, we forget that they started working with 4 years of age! Imagine people calling police in a time like now, when someone would let his 4 year old kid work on blocks of marble with hammer and chisels! 😂

[@fredkelly6953]

You have to respect Michelangelo because when he was on his work surpassed the sublime but Bernini was always sublime and his greatest works matched Michelangelo's. La Pieta is imo the most beautiful marble sculpture of all time and David is about 5 but the other 8 in the top ten are all Bernini.

[@h.huffen-puff4105]

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

Interesting to see the grey head of some interloper shown four times over St. Theresa's ecstasies. You'd think a spare shot could have been done.

[@johnrudy9404]

Sculpture like this and NOT modern "art" nonsense that looks like a lump of....well, you know,....amazes me. How did he create such intricate detail out of stone, without mistakes? HOW(rhetorical). Create a statue that is anatomically correct, with 2-3 figures, in dynamic motion, intertwined and realistic. The fingers that appear to squeeze the marble as they would in reality is, in itself a wonder.

Why would nature create a creature that could produce such an unbelievable artifact as Bernini created, when all other beasts that currently inhabit our world, have never produced something comparable?

[@sanjayanekar9226]

So fine as micale angelo

[@jesjes5255]

the talent and genius of Bernini is underrated. His sculptures leave everyone for dead, including Michelangelo (btw, David's hands are very disproportionate), although the Pieta is beautiful. The clever Fontana di Quatro Fiumi at Piazza Navona doesnt get a mention? Bernini is interred in the Basilica de Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, by the steps to the altar on the right.

[@jaimedavis439]

Seeing as how his proportions were correct & his women actually look like women, id say he was far better than Michelangelo. As anyone with those credits could be.

[@jesjes5255]

totally agree. Michelangelo's Night & Day and Dawn & Dusk in the Capella Medici, are fugly. And David's hands are exceedingly out of proportion. Having said that, the Pieta is beautiful 😊

he was poor soul manipulated by terrified times of catholic mafia and religious paranoia. His father pushed him so much to be this and not just a kid. Then he lost himself in this religious dellusion.

[@trancedrifter]

Basically he was like Koons or Hirst today, trying hard to impress and shock the public by adding some cheap effects, tricks, details to the moderate ancient classic style created by Greeks, who were creating art for the sake of art(and gods), not for cheap public sellout
