Middlebury's Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila: Artist, Patron, and Context

Middlebury’s terracotta relief The Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila has been attributed to Tommaso Amantini, a Baroque sculptor trained in Bernini’s circle in Rome, on the basis of a similar, signed relief in Vienna. Dr. Jessica Boehman of CUNY LaGuardia Community College will link both reliefs to high-profile church patrons in Le Marche, Italy. Part of the Fridays at the Museum series. Free
