Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini - the genius of the Baroque (December 7, 1598, Naples - November 28, 1680, Rome) Teacher of fine arts, Moscow Art Theater. MOU Ilyinskaya secondary school Lebed S.G Self-portrait “I defeated marble and made it flexible like wax, and thereby I was able to a certain extent to combine sculpture with painting” Lorenzo Bernini Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini is a great Italian architect and sculptor, the largest representative of the Roman and all Italian baroque , a student of his father Pietro Bernini. His work can serve as a standard of baroque aesthetics: it is characterized by "increased emotionality, theatricality, active confrontation between space and mass, a combination of religious affectation with emphasized sensuality" Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini Bernini was an outstanding master and possessed truly versatile talents. He was a sculptor, architect, painter, theater decorator, playwright and stage director, famous wit and cartoonist. For his contemporaries he was a genius, "the Michelangelo of the new age." The master was favored by the monarchs and princes of the church and led the life of a sovereign prince of art - a life filled at the same time with tireless work. His biographer and contemporary F. Baldinucci wrote that Bernini spent a lot of time working on marble, working without interruption. And when they tried to tear him away from the sculptures, he said: "Leave me, I'm in love." In the heat of his work, he could fall off the scaffolding, so he had to keep a special person next to him. The work of Bernini, which amazed his contemporaries with the grandeur of his ideas and the courage of their implementation, had a great influence on everything. European art 17th-18th centuries Most famous work Bernini - Piazza San Pietro in Rome The largest architectural work Bernini - the end of the long-term construction of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome and the design of the square in front of it (1656-1667). Two mighty wings of the monumental colonnade, built according to the project of Bernini, closed the vast expanse of the square. Diverging from the main, western facade of the cathedral, the colonnades first form a trapezoid shape, and then turn into a huge oval, emphasizing the special mobility of the composition, designed to organize the movement of mass processions. 284 columns and 80 columns 19 m high make up this four-row covered colonnade, 96 big statues crowned with an attic. As you move around the square and change your point of view, it seems that the columns move closer, then move apart, and architectural ensemble as if unfolding before the viewer. Decorative elements are masterfully included in the design of the square: unsteady jets of water from two fountains and a slender Egyptian obelisk between them, which accentuate the middle of the square. In the words of Bernini himself, the square, “like open arms”, captures the viewer, directing his movement to the facade of the cathedral (architect Carlo Maderna), decorated with grandiose attached Corinthian columns that rise and dominate all this solemn baroque ensemble. The most famous work of Bernini - Piazza San Pietro in Rome Piazza San Pietro or Piazza San Pietro - a grandiose square in the form of two symmetrical semicircles, broken in front of the Basilica of St. Peter's in Rome, designed by Bernini in 1656-67. The square is framed by semicircular colonnades of the Tuscan order designed by Bernini. In the middle is an Egyptian obelisk brought to Rome by Emperor Caligula. This is the only obelisk in the city that stood unchanged until the Renaissance. Medieval Romans believed that the ashes of Julius Caesar were kept in a metal ball at the top of the obelisk. Rays of travertine diverge from the obelisk along the paving stones, arranged so that the obelisk plays the role of a gnomon. Saint Paul's Cathedral.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) Italian sculptor, architect The largest sculptor and architect of Italy in the 17th century. He was the purest representative of the Italian Baroque. Son famous sculptor Piero Bernini Lorenzo. He started sculpting as a child. At the age of 17, he could already accept an order for a portrait bust of Bishop Santoka, installed on his tombstone, and at 20 years old, he could complete a portrait of Pope Paul V. Following this, he spent several years creating four large marble sculptures, which he ordered for the garden at his palace art lover and collector Cardinal Scipione Borghese. In 1650–1670 Bernini divides his attention between the creation of street fountains, monumental tombstones and architectural structures.As a court architect and sculptor of the Roman popes, Bernini carried out orders and led all other architectural, sculptural and decorative works that were carried out to decorate the capital

Bernini Giovani Lorenzo Ecstasy of Saint Teresa 1645-1652 Marble Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome

Gian Lorenzo Bernini The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa In the Cornaro Chapel, in the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, there is an altar group "The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa", made in 1652 by Bernini. Teresa, who in a state of ecstasy is an angel with a golden arrow, reclining on a marble cloud.

The sculptural group is placed in a deep niche, between the columns, against the background of golden rays. This scene is presented as a theatrical spectacle - on the reliefs of the side walls of the chapel, nine members of the Cornaro family are depicted, as if watching what is happening. In "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa" is amazing how Bernini processes marble: it is as if he sculpts from marble, the forms become so soft and light.

The mystical ecstasy of St. Teresa is expressed more by the cascade of her clothes than by the sweat on her face or the trembling of her hands and feet, just as the angelic fire is expressed by the tangle of the young angel's tunic. In this famous mystical-erotic group, Bernini reached the extreme limit of sculpture, where plastic becomes painting.
