A crack in the forehead necessitated the replacement with a copy of a bust by him that shows the title figure in a biretta and cardinal's robes. On top of a red marble sarcophagus, he depicted a woman dressed in a nun's habit, lying on a cushioned couch, while clutching her breast. This sculptor of an equestrian statue of (*) Louis XIV, a bust of Scipione Borghese, and The Blessed Ludovica Albertoni carved a Greek god's translucent flying drapery in one work in which another figure's legs are sheathed in bark and her fingers are turning into branches. Another of his sculptures show an angel pointing a sphere at the title open-mouthed saint. For 10 points, name this sculptor of Apollo and Daphne, whose Cornaro Chapel contains his The Ecstasy of St. Theresa.
