Description
Gian Lorenzo Bernini served eight consecutive popes, rendering some of the most notable monuments at St. Peter's Basilica, as well as other notable commissions, thereby transforming Rome from a Renaissance into a Baroque city.
Historical Dictionary of Gian Lorenzo Bernini contains a chronology, introduction, and a bibliography. The cross-referenced dictionary entries covers the life and career of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He rendered some of the most notable monuments at St. Peter's Basilica, including the piazza in front of the structure, the Baldacchino that marks the burial site of St. Peter, the Cathedra Petri, the St. Peter's crossing, and the tombs of Urban VIII and Alexander VII gracing the interior of the basilica. His other notable commissions are the Church of Sant'Andrea al Quirinale, the twin churches in the Piazza del Popolo, the Four Rivers Fountain in the Piazza Navona, the Elephant Carrying an Obelisk in the Piazza di Santa Maria sopra Minerva, and the Cornaro and Altieri Chapels.
