Born in Naples in 1598, the sculptor, painter and architect, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, showed signs of genius from a very early age. He produced some of history's greatest sculptures, such as the "Apollo and Daphne" and the "Pluto and Persephone." But he also blurred the lines between sculpture and architecture with massive works such as the "Baldacchino." This podcast will trace the life and career of the greatest sculptor of the 17th century.
