Vision of St Joseph
by GUIDI, Domenico, Marble
Domenico Guidi’s studio was active in Rome and it alternately cooperated and competed with Ercole Ferrata’s studio. Guidi produced a few works for Bernini (such as the Angel with a Lance on Ponte Sant’Angelo), however, most of his collaborative work was with Algardi.
The group of the Vision of St Joseph is the derivative pendant of Bernini’s famous Ecstasy of St Teresa in the Cornaro Chapel of the same church.
