Obra de Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

The Ecstasy of Blessed Ludovica Albertoni is a marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini that depicts the saint in a state of mystical ecstasy. It's located in the Altieri Chapel of the San Francesco a Ripa church in Rome, Italy.

Description:

The sculpture depicts Albertoni in her death throes, but also in the light of her religious ecstasies.

She's presented on a mattress, with her head thrown back onto an embroidered pillow.

The folds of her habit reflect her state of turmoil.

Putti surround her, ready to guide her spirit to heaven.

Sunlight filters through two small, hidden windows.

Background:

Bernini started the project in 1671, but his work on other major works delayed it.

He completed the sculpture in 1674 and it was installed by August 31, 1674.

The Altieri family dedicated an altar to Albertoni in the private chapel in San Francesco.

Albertoni was a Franciscan tertiary who lived in Rome from 1474 to 1533. She was beatified in 1671.

Style:

The sculpture is an example of Baroque art, which is known for its grandeur, drama, and emotional exuberance.
