according to khan academy, the baroque-style sculpture ‘the ecstasy of saint teresa’ is based off of a somewhat erotically described prophetic dream that saint teresa (a sixteenth century spanish nun) had in which an angel “plunged [a golden spear] into [her] heart several times so that it penetrated to [her] entrails”. teresa describes in her writings how the pain felt sweet, and how she felt filled up with the love of god.
