Description
L'Elefantino di Bernini, Rome, Italy.
Elephant and Obelisk is the base of the smallest obelisk of Rome. The sculpture was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, although it was probably executed by his assistant Ercole Ferrata. The ensemble was unveiled in 1667 in the Piazza della Minerva in Rome, adjacent to the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, where it stands today.
This was the last commission Pope Alexander VII would ask of Bernini, his favorite sculptor and protegee, before he died in that same year.
