Abstract
An expanded version of a paper delivered at the annual conference of the College Art Association in New York in February 2000. The writer discusses Gianlorenzo Bernini's works for the interior of New-Saint Peter's in Rome. He focuses on the question of how Bernini's religious convictions helped shape his creative imagination over the 56 years that he worked on the church's interior. He notes that Bernini's deep religiosity allowed him, like almost no other artist, to overcome the contradiction between art and life.
