Every part of the chapel from the sculpture occupying your main attention to the colored marble on the floor was carefully crafted by Bernini's hand to draw you into a physical, emotional, and spiritual connection with god. <BR/><BR/>In the way the the Borghese sculptures trick you into thinking that nymphs and gods are running through the Villa, Bernini's later work show you the visual, tangible love that God has for all of us.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214181173464116686noreply@blogger.com
