Episode 302 - Bernini's Tomb of Pope Urban VIII

from Rebuilding The Renaissance

Although commissioned in 1627, at the height of Bernini's involvement at St. Peter's, Bernini did not complete the tomb of Pope Urban VIII until 3 years after the pope's death. Inspired by Michelangelo's tombs in the New Sacristy in Florence, Italy, the tomb of Urban VIII was also the first sculptural work into which Bernini added color.
