The Death of St Agnes
1660-64 Marble, over life-size Sant'Agnese in Agone, Rome Ferrata's high altar sculpture, representing St Agnes on the pyre, bears unmistakable, though not entirely reconciled, elements drawn from Algardi and Bernini. The saint's pose is indebted to one of Algardi's most emotive works, the St Mary Magdalene, but the head and drapery are more classically correct. These elements are overlaid by two touches worthy of Bernini: the fire at St Agnes's feet and the drapery billowing out for no apparent reason behind her shoulders. The result is a work whose impact is weakened by overly theatrical gestures. Artist: FERRATA, Ercole Painting Title: The Death of St Agnes , 1601-1650 Painting Style: Italian , sculpture Type: religious
