He made several important contributions to St. Peter's Basilica, including designing the Baldacchino, sculpting the Cathedra Petri, and adding the Scala Regia. Bernini helped proliferate an "Ecstatic Baroque" style of art in Rome during his lifetime under the patronage of popes like Paul V and Urban VIII.
