Focus on Bust of the Saviour and discuss the abstract.
The Bust of the Saviour (Salvator Mundi) is the last sculpture created by baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who died from the after-effects of a stroke, when the artist was 81 years old. He left the sculpture in his will to his friend and patron queen Christina of Sweden. Considered lost and "rediscovered" in 2001, by Francesco Petrucci, it is currently held in the basilica of San Sebastiano fuori le mura in Rome.
