Bernini for free in Rome.
Elephant and Minerva Obelisk的点评
点评：Once again, without going to the Borghese Gallery, where Bernini's sculptures are on display, I remembered where I could see him back in Rome. Rome is an amazing city where the masterpieces of world art are in the open air or in churches in the public domain. With regard to Bernini, this is, of course, the colonnade of St. Peter's Basilica. Petra and the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona. The Fountain of Bees (Fontana delle Api) is also publicly available. Two remarkable sculptures are in churches and both are associated with ecstasy: the Ecstasy of Blessed Ludovica Albertoni in the church of San Francesco a Ripa in Trastevere, and the recently restored Ecstasy of St. Teresa in the church of Santa Maria Della Vittoria. And, of course, this elephant. Strictly speaking, Bernini himself made only a sketch in 1667, and the elephant is the work of his pupil Ercole Ferrata. It was necessary to add a 5-meter ancient obelisk found in 1655. The Pope was offered two ideas: Dominicans with a pile of symbols of the house of Chigi, to which the pope belonged, and this one. Dad chose a Bernini sketch. I must give him his due. The Dominicans didn`t calm down and began to convince that the baby elephant could not withstand the obelisk, by the way, the shortest of the 11 ancient obelisks in Rome. Then Bernini and Ferrata strengthened the elephant's butt, as a result, he began to resemble a piglet, for which he received the nickname Porcino di Minerva, the piglet of Minerva. In retaliation for the Dominicans, Bernini did something similar to what he did in Piazza Navona. He turned the baby elephant's butt towards the Dominican monastery. The muscles on the elephant's butt are tense and it seems that he is now farting towards envious competitors...
翻译：再一次，我没去博尔盖塞美术馆（那里展出了贝尔尼尼的雕塑），却想起了在罗马哪里还能看到他的作品。罗马是一座令人惊叹的城市，世界艺术的杰作要么在露天，要么在教堂里，供公众欣赏。说到贝尔尼尼，当然要数圣彼得大教堂的柱廊了。还有佩特拉古城和纳沃纳广场的四河喷泉。蜜蜂喷泉（Fontana delle Api）也对外开放。两座非凡的雕塑位于教堂内，都与狂喜有关：一座是特拉斯提弗列圣方济各教堂的《圣路德维卡·阿尔贝托尼的狂喜》，另一座是最近修复的圣玛利亚·德拉·维多利亚教堂的《圣特雷莎的狂喜》。当然，还有这头大象。严格来说，贝尔尼尼本人只在1667年画了一张草图，而大象雕塑是他的学生埃尔科莱·费拉塔的作品。当时需要添加一座1655年发现的5米高的古老方尖碑。教皇有两个方案：一个是多明我会用基吉家族的象征物堆砌而成，教皇就属于基吉家族；另一个方案就是贝尔尼尼的草图。我必须承认，他的设计确实出色。多明我会对此并不满意，他们开始质疑这头小象无法承受方尖碑的重量，顺便一提，这还是罗马现存11座古老方尖碑中最矮的一座。于是，贝尔尼尼和费拉塔加固了大象的臀部，结果它看起来更像一只小猪，因此得名“密涅瓦的小猪”（Porcino di Minerva）。为了报复多明我会，贝尔尼尼也做了类似他在纳沃纳广场上所做的设计。他把小象的屁股转向多米尼加修道院。小象屁股上的肌肉紧绷着，看起来就像是在对着嫉妒的竞争对手放屁……
