dc.descriptionWall behind the aedicule, view into the right corner; The unity of sculpture, painting and architecture makes the chapel one of Bernini's greatest achievements. He was commissioned by the Venetian Cardinal Federigo Cornaro (1579-1653) to decorate a small chapel forming the left transept of the early 17th-century church. The patron wanted to construct a mortuary chapel for himself, commemorate seven other distinguished members of his family and, especially, honour St. Teresa of Avila, the 16th-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite reformer canonized in 1622.
