Bernini is a Italian master sculptor whose work I enjoy very much. While visiting Rome last summer there was plenty of opportunity to see his work. He has a magnificent statue in the middle of Piazza Navona that were featured in the movie "Angels & Demons" (where one of the cardinals almost drowns). He designed St Peter's square and have a bunch of statues around the church as well as created the baldachin inside the church. He was very prolific and was (in my mind) the greatest sculptor during the Baroque era.
My sketch above is of the head of Bernini's David statue...that particular statue we never got to see since we never visited Villa Borghese in Rome. Reason for going back to visit again...

Det får väl bli fler Italienresor i framtiden......och då är det ju inte så långt till Sverige sen.
