This Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (Italian: L'Estasi di Santa Teresa or Santa Teresa in estasi) is a famous sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a master of the Baroque style, made between 1647 and 1652. It was commissioned by Cardinal Federico Cornaro, a member of the influential Cornaro family, who wanted to glorify his family name and patron saint. It depicts a scene from the life of Saint Teresa of Ávila, a Spanish nun and mystic, who experienced a vision of an angel piercing her heart with a golden arrow, causing her both pain and joy. The sculpture is located in the Cornaro Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome and is considered by many as one of the most expressive and dramatic works of art in the history of Western civilization.
