Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) was an Italian sculptor and architect who is widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the Baroque period. Born in Naples, he began his career as a sculptor in Rome, where he quickly gained fame for his dramatic and emotional works. Bernini's sculptures are characterised by their dynamic and fluid forms, which often appear to be in motion. He was particularly adept at capturing the human form in motion, and many of his works depict figures in dramatic poses, such as his famous statue of David, which shows the biblical hero in the act of hurling a stone at Goliath. In addition to his work as a sculptor, Bernini was also a talented architect and designed many of Rome's most important buildings during his lifetime. These include the famous Colonnade in St Peter's Square, considered one of the greatest achievements of Baroque architecture. Throughout his career, Bernini was a favourite of the papacy and received many commissions from the Catholic Church. His works can be seen in churches and museums throughout Italy and the world, and he remains one of the most important figures in the history of Western art.
