Professor Simon Schama explores the life and work of the art world's most inspiring figures. Born in Naples, Bernini was an exceptional talent from an early age and went on to dominate the art world of 17th century Rome. His work epitomised the Baroque style and his sculpture, church interiors and exteriors and town planning could be seen everywhere.
Watch this if you have even a passing interest in sculpture, the animation and life that Bernini captures in his work is peerless, the passion and verve that he exhibits in his life is evident as he breathes life into marble.
Let us know what you thought of his work in the comments below, does his work have any relevance to the world today or is it a product of an earlier time?
