Ecstasy of Saint Teresa

Gian Lorenzo Bernini

1647–1652

Marble statue depicting the religious encounter of Saint Teresa, displayed at the Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome. Upon the creation of this famous baroque statue, there was an argument between Bernini and the church, where the church insisted it was too sexual of an image of the saint, but Bernini countered with insisting that sexual ecstasy was the closest the everyday man could get to godliness.

I don't like baroque art.

Baroque art doesn't like me either.
