  • The St. Teresa work is famous for the use of different mediums. There's glass for illumination, bronze used in the background creating the impression of radiating light cast downward to St Teresa and marble to create the images of all the figures in the work. The church is unassuming in its exterior simplicity but is 180 degrees opposed on the inside.This is a "must see" if you plan on traveling to Rome.
