 bernini2
Pietro Bernini, Gian Lorenzo's father, must have become acquainted with artists and other personalities of Naples, as his "amicissimo" was the abbot of the S. Martino monastery.
Thus Bernini's creative genius was inspired by the theological and aesthetic ideas of his time - of which, however, he made his own personal interpretation.
In a choice between the Mannerist treatises of Lomazzo and Federico Zuccaro or Bellori's theory of the "idea", Bernini must have felt closer to the first two, which were much in vogue during his apprentice years and which satisfied his inner need to define art in terms of the Christian faith.

 David by BERNINI, Gian Lorenzo
When he tackled his David in 1623-224, Bernini knew that he was risking comparison with works in a sculptural tradition that included the great names of the artistic culture of the Italian Renaissance, from Donatello to Verrocchio and Michelangelo.
It is well known that he took his inspiration from the so-called Borghese Gladiator, now in the Louvre but at the time one of the prize pieces in Cardinal Borghese's collection.
All the strain that has been built up shows in David's face, a self-portrait that was executed with Cardinal Borghese's assistance, for he volunteered to hold a mirror up to enable the twenty-five-year-old Bernini to complete his work.
