Some curiosities:
The author of this sculpture was Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1628 and 1638 (Italy), an Italian sculptor, architect and painter. He was the most prestigious sculptor of the Baroque.
It is made up of
marble, polychrome wood and bronze. It’s 300 cm high. It is nowadays in the
Basilica of Saint Peter, in Rome. He made over twenty proves of Saint Longinus
in mud. Bernini used to represent the most important part of the life of the
people in his works, for example, in the Bible that explains Longinus was one
of the Roman centurions who took Jesus Christ to the cross. When Jesus Christ was on the
cross, he looked at him and said: “he was the real God’s son” so that is what the
sculpture represents, his transformation to Christianity (and that’s why
Bernini made him looking at a celestial light which passes through the dome).
As we can see, Saint Longinus face represents the victory.

Bernini liked to play
with the mixture of materials to create shadows, movement and realism.

Hello Marta,
This text is not ordered. I thing you copied the end at the beginning. Another confusing thing is that you included the sources in the middle of the text. It’s better that you copy all of them together after the text, except for the sources of the pictures, that have to be below every of them, and don’t write them in brackets. I don’t like that you used El rincón del vago as a source. This is not a good website.
Please, reorder the text in the right way when you correct it. These are the corrections I’ve made:
- It is clearly a Baroque work art because it represents a fleeting moment (the conversion of Longinus to Christianity... The columns of this sculpture are Solomonic columns.
- The author of this sculpture was Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1628 and 1638 (Italy), an Italian sculptor, architect and painter.
- It is made up of marble, polychrome(d) wood and bronze. It’s 300 cm high. It is nowadays in the Basilica of Saint Peter, in Rome.
-...the most important part of the life of the people in his works, for example, (is written in) the Bible explains that Longinus was one of the Roman centurions who took Jesus Christ to the cross. When Jesus Christ was on the cross, he looked at him and said: “he was the real God’s son” so that is what the sculpture represents, his transformation to Christianisy (and that’s why Bernini made him looking at a celestial light which passes through the dome). As we can see, Saint Longinus’ face represents the victory.
