A controversial sculpture of the famous Bernini. Look at the "ecstasy" of St. Theresa in her toe. What a scene.
The Ecstasy of St. Teresa (alternatively St. Teresa in Ecstasy or Transverberation of St. Teresa) is the central marble group of a sculpture complex designed and completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. It is one of the sculptural masterpieces of High Roman Baroque. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy_of_St_Theresa)
