Gian Lorenzo Bernini, also Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, was one of the most important artists of the Baroque. He was not only a painter, but also a sculptor and architect. Born in Naples in 1598, he belonged to a generation with René Descartes and Oliver Cromwell and also lived during the Renaissance and Reformation. Giovanni Bernini played a decisive role in the development of Baroque sculpture and architecture in Rome.
Giovanni is said to have been a child prodigy. He received his first training in sculpture in the studio of his father Pietro Bernini. His father recognized the extraordinary talent of his son and so Giovanni was allowed to produce his own sculptures at the age of eight years. He also attracted the attention of the Pope and received his first papal commission at the age of eleven. Throughout his life Bernini worked for eight different popes. Due to his special talent and the perfection of his sculptures, he was widely known early in his life, not only in Italy. He was able to carve his figures into the stone particularly quickly and without any auxiliary construction or calculation. The special surface design also made the figures look very real. Pope Urban VIII became one of Bernini's most important patrons and even entrusted him with the supervision of the construction work in St. Peter's. "You are made for Rome and Rome is made for you," Urban is said to have said to him.
Bernini was a truly universal artist whose artistic heritage had a decisive influence on the European Baroque. At the age of 66 he travelled to Paris, where he was in charge of the redesign of the Louvre. Bernini died at the age of 81 in Rome. He was buried there in the church Santa Maria Maggiore.
