Begun in 1645, one year after the death of his great patron Pope Urban VIII, the unfinished "Truth Unveiled by Time" is perhaps Bernini's most personal statue. He was carving it for himself as a visual expression of vindication against the slander against him by his rivals for his earlier mishap on the facade of St. Peter's.
