He died in 1680, but for nearly all of his 82 years he was the artist and architect of Roman Catholic Church construction. He virtually defined the Baroque style in the visual arts. Bernini's famous Square of St. Peter's and Scala Regia at the Vatican transformed both locations into breathtaking theatrical sets, and Bernini's career featured a masterly integration of painting, sculpture, and architecture in one site.
