The Calling of Matthew, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew
The inspiration of saint Matthew was originally a different composition where the angel was wrapped around Matthew helping him right, but it was rejected, when his paintings were rejected there were other patrons eager to buy them, The canvases are large and square, The early version that was rejected was destroyed in WWII all elements of it were shocking, hense its refusal, His characters have a wide range of emotion, he often incorporates himself as a character self portrait style, they are always in dramatic situations where one figure may not fully understand the significance of the situation, he did not draw first, he uses oil and canvas in the tradition of venice

Bernini
jesuit church
only need two big jesuit churches, so this one serves a different purpose, chapel for jesuits studying to enter the priesthood, similar orders to the campidoglio, theatrical space, oval plan 16th century standard plan, vignoal plays a role in the popularization of cenral plans, they are found in sketches, and in backgrounds of paintings, explains changes of saint peters plan, next century the longitudinal plan takes over.
Religious painting of saint andrew crucification and earth to heaven realms, 3d continuation of painting rays of light and angels.

- 14Oratory complex1637
The church predates the complex, it was built by oritorians, filipinni in late 1500s, the adjacent sites were acquired and public streets closed. Boromini inherits master plan from the oritorians, basic elements and positions are decided, Boromini does the oratory hall, library, facade, and courtyards. The back courtyard is modified to a square, in the courtyard he paired each existing window with an illusionistic one for symmetry, he added the curving corners, the location of the clock tower makes no sense unless considered urbanistically, topped with metal element to let the sky in, In the library the last bays are not the same size due to the expansion, so he stretches the elements so it seems like perspective, fake book spines to cover stairs, entrance is not center. facade is a hybrid of a palace and church facade, five bays with flanks. the heights of the facade relate to the church facade. facade fenestration does not match what goes on behind,
Church: longitudinal counter reformation, side aisles, and chapels, chapels are cellular and linked, dome has no barrel

- 21Baldachin, BerniniBaldachin, Bernini
- Commissioned by Pope Urban VIII, began in 1623 finished in 1634. (Baroque style).
- Intended to be mark the place of St. Peter’s tomb underneath.
- It was not Bernini’s original idea to
build the baldachin on top of the tomb; there are sketches from previous artists, such as Carlo Madero, proposing a less sculptural baldachin with the same solomonic columns.
- Made of bronze with solomonic columns (spiraling). Inspired by the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.
- Columns are made in 5 sections decorated with laurel and bees
(Barberini family symbol)
- The columns are connected to the top piece with impost blocks instead of an entablature. Bernini sculpted a bronze fabric to replace the entablature in order to give the Baldachin more
movement. - Bernini’s aim was to create a piece to blend architecture and sculpture.
- Marble masonry bases with a wooden roof.
- Four twice life size angles sit on top of each column, surrounding a gilded cross and sphere, representing the world redeemed by Christianity.
- 22Chair of St. Peter, BerniniChair of St. Peter, Bernini - Executed between 1647 and 1653 - Also known as the “cathedra pietri”
(latin) which means throne, denoting the chair high chair of the bishop. Reliquary sculpture, meaning it holds the original wooden throne seat once used by St. Peter. Due to its symbolism,
Bernini designed a piece that had no earthly attachment to the surrounding architecture.
- The piece is usually referred as the “floating throne” being only attached
from the back.
- The sculpture piece is meant to
reconcile the longitudinal axis of the church since the high altar (baldachin)
is not placed at the back of the wall, like
it usually is. The baldachin compresses
the longitudinal axis between the two
pieces, creating the illusion that both of them work as one.
- The chair is flanked by two tombs:
Farnese Pope (no idea which one) and Urban VIII
- 23Four Pier around Baldachin- Four Pier around Baldachin, Bernini - All piers have the same format: on the lower tier a niche holds a larger than human scale sculpture of a saint. On the upper tier, a balcony with a smaller niche holds the relics of the saint below. The top niche is decorated with solomonic columns and painting with marble.
- 1. St Veronica holding cloth imprinted with Christ’s face
- 2. St. Andrew (St. Peter’s brother) - 3. St. Helen, mother of Constantine - 4. St. Longinus - All of the sculptures where made by Bernini and his assistants.
