Santa Maria sopra Minerva


< previous > < index > < next >

The second column from the transept on the left side of the nave has the monument for Sister Maria Raggi, which Gian Lorenzo Bernini executed about 1650. It is a small, exquisite work in black marble and gilded bronze in the form of a banner, and is one of several examples of Bernini demonstrating his genius in carving cloth.
