Gian Lorenzo

                  It is by no mistake that when the term "Baroque" is mentioned, it is paired in thought with the artist, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. A sculptor, painter, and architect, Bernini's artistic skill was noticed before he even saw his tenth year on this Earth. Protected and cared for lavishly by eight different Popes, Bernini's influence is hard to miss in Rome, even today.
