POPE URBAN VIII'S TOMB

2.30

For Pope Urban VIII's tomb next to the baldachin, Bernini took inspiration from the patterns of Renaissance tombs, but as before, impressed it with an innovative charge of dynamism and action, underlined by the combined use of different colored and textured materials including white and colored marble, bronze, and gilding. His idea to use Death almost seems like it's from a horror movie: Death is depicted here as a skeleton, writing the pope's name on his tombstone.
