Bernini in Rome. No artist left a stronger mark upon a city than Bernini did upon 17th-century Rome. Today we'll look at some of the must-see works in the Eternal City by this prolific genius, who is said to carve marble as easily as if it were dough. He created not only statues, portrait busts, chapels, tombs, and fountains but transformed St. Peter's into what it is now. Illustrated discussion with Vivian Gordon.
