Blessed Soul (Bernini)
The ''Blessed Soul'' ((イタリア語:Anima Beata)) is a bust by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Executed around 1619, it is a pendant piece to the ''Damned Soul''. It is reckoned that they were both commissioned by Cardinal Montoya, of whom Bernini also did a portrait bust. Their original location was sacristy of the church of San Giacomo degli Spagnuoli, but they were then moved in the late 19th century, and then to the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See in Piazza di Spagna.〔Wittkower 1955, p. 233.〕
==Critical Reception==
Despite being relatively unknown, the Blessed Soul was noted by some visitors to Rome. In particular, the painter Joshua Reynolds stated that the sculpture "has all the sweetness and perfect happiness expressed in her countenance that can be imagined." 〔Reynolds 1659, p. 7.〕 However, the Blessed Soul has not been considered one of Bernini's finest works in more recent times. Wittkower points to the "doughy hair of the Anima Beata",〔Wittkower 1955, p. 233.〕 while Hibbard finds it uninspiring when compared to the Damned Soul, mentioning that 'virtuous appearances' do not translate too well to sculpture.〔Hibbard 1990, p. 33.〕
