This artist's early works include a marble bust of Dr. Antonio Coppola and the group Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius Leaving Troy, a work once attributed to his father, Pietro. Late in his life he traveled to France, where his nationalism caused Louis XIV to reject his plans for the Louvre. Under Pope Alexander VII he was charged with the decoration of Santa Maria del Popolo, and he created the magnificent Chair of St. Peter for St. Peter's Basilica. He also designed the baldacchino and a colonnade for that church, but he may be best known for the Triton and Four Rivers fountains, and for a work housed in the Coronaro Chapel. For ten points, name this baroque sculptor of the Ecstasy of St. Teresa.
