@artisalive3d: BALDACCHINO DI SAN PIETRO 1633 GIAN LORENZO BERNINI: Enigma 1 “THE BARBERINI SATIRE” ONE CURIOUS ASPECT OF THE BALDACCHINO IS ITS SOURCE MATERIAL. TO CREATE THIS MASSIVE BRONZE MASTERPIECE, POPE URBAN VIII ORDERED THE REMOVAL OF ANCIENT BRONZE BEAMS FROM THE PANTHEON PORTICO. THIS BOLD DECISION TRIGGERED THE FAMOUS ROMAN SATIRE: WHAT THE BARBARIANS DID NOT DO, THE BARBERINI DID. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUR TWISTED SOLOMONIC COLUMNS SYMBOLIZE THE ANCIENT TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM, LINKING THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH TO BIBLICAL ROOTS. IT REMAINS A TRIUMPH OF BAROQUE ART AND ENGINEERING #VATICAN #BERNINI #History #ROME #ART
