Find the similarities between Bernini's St. Theresa in Ecstasy (1647) and Salvador Dali's Phenomena of Ecstasy (1933):
Bernini's St. Theresa has experienced a religious ecstasy, demonstrated by her languid, limp arm. Dali's repetition of female faces in a state which he considers ecstasy resemble that of Bernini's sculpture. Dali also includes a snapshot of a woman lying listlessly on a bed, mirroring Bernini's work and implying that the ecstasy resulted from an orgasm.
