Gialorenzo Bernini, is known as "one of the greatest sculptors of all time"- specifically during the baroque era. His sculptures are best known as being caught during an act of movement or action, and would leave his art all around cities; anywhere from church interiors to public fountains. His major works can be found at Piazza Navona, Galleria Borghese, and Santa Maria della Vittoria. My favorite sculpture of his is located at Piazza Navona, and is titled Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi. I love the water aspect to it, and how intricate it is with having many life-like people.
