Bernini designed 10 angels for the Pont Sant'Angelo - the bridge leading to the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican, in Rome. I photographed them several times while I was there. Each angel holds an instrument of the Passion of Christ, i.e., the crucifixion.
- Angel with the Column (Throne)
- Angel with the Whips
- Angel with the Crown of Thorns
- Angel with the Sudarium (Veronica’s Veil)
- Angel with the Nail
- Angel with the Cross
- Angel with the Superscription
- Angel with the Sponge (with vinegar)
- Angel with the Lance
Here are 4 of them.
