BERNINI and BORROMINI
The Cornaro Chapel by Bernini (Estasi di Santa
Teresa) in Santa Maria della Vittoria. S. Andrea al Quirinale and
San Carlino. Two masterpieces of architecture by great rivals of
the 17th century whose personalities are so clearly reflected in
those churches. Borromini's bizarre conception of space compared
to the rich spectacular effects by Bernini.
