Angel with the Nails, Ponte Sant'Angelo, Rome
He initially trained with Alessandro Algardi, and at Algardi's death was one of the four giovani who shared the studio,[1] but later also worked for Algardi's rival, Bernini. His unemotional angel at the Ponte Sant'Angelo is a reflection of an Algardian-restraint for an exuberant Bernini project. He also completed a tomb for Cardinal Girolamo Gastaldi (1685–1686) in the choir of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, and four bronze busts of popes in Santa Maria di Montesanto, its twin. Following a design provided by Bernini, Lucenti modelled a bronze statue of Philip IV of Spain (1692) under the portico of Santa Maria Maggiore.[2]
