Raimondi Chapel / San Pietro in Montorio

The **Raimondi Chapel** *(Cappella Raimondi)*, is a chapel in the church of [**San Pietro in Montorio**](https://skfb.ly/JZQH), in Rome, Italy. The Chapel was designed by the artist **Gianlorenzo Bernini**, a prolific sculptor and architect of Baroque Rome, and construction took place between 1638 and 1648. The tombs of Francesco and Girolamo Raimondi flank a central altar that shows the *Ecstasy of St. Francis.* A hidden window provides raking light to the sculptural relief at the altar, an altarpiece by Francesco Baratta, demonstrating the consideration of the architectural space and the sculptural decoration as a unified whole. *For another chapel at San Pietro in Montorio*, click [here](https://skfb.ly/GPUK) *For the exterior of San Pietro in Montorio*, click [here](https://skfb.ly/JZQH)
