In our current Case assignment, we are going to compare two Baroque artworks, Bernini’s sculpture, Ecstasy of St. Teresa, and Caravaggio’s painting, Crucifixion of St. Peter.
Write a 3- to 4-page paper in which you provide brief information about the Baroque era with a contrasting reference to the Renaissance and role of the church; abbreviated biographical background on the artist; a brief description and interpretation of the two works; and your personal opinion on how Bernini and Caravaggio differently conveyed faith and commitment to the church based on your comparison of the two masterpieces.
