Bernini’s Ecstasy of St. Theresa, Cornaro Chapel, Rome (c. 1650)
I love Bernini. This sculpture, and St. Theresa herself, is basically the exemplar of the return of the repressed. For more, see Huizinga's The Waning of the Middle Ages.
Politics, science, art, and whatever else strikes my fancy. (I don't monetize any part of this blog.)
