Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is the main reason to visit the otherwise unassuming small Baroque church of Santa Maria della Vittoria near Rome’s Termini station. This marble sculpture is a masterpiece of the High Roman Baroque and one of the best works Bernini ever created. Although showing religious ecstasy, it is borderline erotic despite hardly showing any naked flesh.
