EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of St. Longinus, situated at the base of four grand pillars that support the dome. Created by the esteemed Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1631-38, this masterpiece can be found in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The statue depicts St. Longinus, a soldier who played a significant role in Christian history as he pierced the side of Christ on the Cross. Standing tall within its niche, this baroque-style sculpture exudes an air of reverence and solemnity. Bernini's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this work; from the intricate folds of St. Longinus' garments to his expressive facial features, each element is meticulously crafted out of stone. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to Rome during a period when art flourished under Baroque architecture. The sheer scale and grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica serve as a testament to human ingenuity and devotion. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of spirituality that emanates from both the statue itself and its surroundings within one of Christianity's most sacred sites - truly a remarkable piece captured for eternity by Bridgeman Images.
