Publisher's Note
The author examines the ways in which the artist Bernini integrated the disparate forms of architecture, painting, and sculpture into a coherent space for devotion, and then shows how this accomplishment was understood by religious practitioners. This book explores three of Bernini's Baroque chapels to show how he achieved his remarkable effects.

Industry Reviews
An analysis of two chapels and an altar, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1664 and 1675, that shows how Bernini created a bel composto, or beautiful whole, uniting architecture with sculpture and painting. A revision of the author's doctoral thesis at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Paris, the analysis focuses on the way unity is created from the heterogeneous elements of a work of art. With 41 b&w illustrations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
