Funeral Monument of Urban VIII Barberini
Bernini designed the tomb of one of his most important patrons in the niche to the right of the apse in Saint Peter's. The final composition is of the pontiff seated on a throne, giving his blessing, while on the sides of the tomb itself are the allegories of Charity and Justice. At the center, the skeleton of death itself holds a scroll bearing the name of the Pope.
