what are his works


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It's Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and he was an Italian Baroque era sculptor and painter, 1598-1680, famous recently for sculptures and paintings such as The Ecstacy of St. Teresa (mentioned in Angels and Demons by Dan Brown) and more famous for the sculpture David. It was said he used some of his own features for the sculpture, we'll let you use your imagination on that one.

He did architecture as well, the canopy over the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica for instance.
