Question: What was the sculpture style created by the artist who created the Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence?

 It depicts the saint at the moment of his martyrdom, being burnt alive on a gridiron.  According to Bernini's biographer, Filippo Baldinucci, the sculpture was completed when Bernini was 15 years old, implying it was finished in the year 1614. Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence is an early sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.  Other historians have dated the sculpture between 1615 and 1618.  A date of 1617 seems most likely.  It is less than life-size in dimensions, measuring 108 by 66 cm. <SEP> Gian Lorenzo Bernini (] ; also Gianlorenzo or Giovanni Lorenzo; 7 December 1598 – 28 November 1680) was an Italian sculptor and architect.  As one scholar has commented, "What Shakespeare is to drama, Bernini may be to sculpture: the first pan-European sculptor whose name is instantaneously identifiable with a particular manner and vision, and whose influence was inordinately powerful..." In addition, he was a painter (mostly small canvases in oil) and a man of the theater: he wrote, directed and acted in plays (mostly Carnival satires), also designing stage sets and theatrical machinery, as well as a wide variety of decorative art objects including lamps, tables, mirrors, and even coaches.  As architect and city planner, he designed both secular buildings and churches and chapels, as well as massive works combining both architecture and sculpture, especially elaborate public fountains and funerary monuments and a whole series of temporary structures (in stucco and wood) for funerals and festivals.  While a major figure in the world of architecture, he was the leading sculptor of his age, credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture. <SEP> Saint Serapion or The Martyrdom of Saint Serapion is a 1628 oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Zurbarán (1598–1664).  The work was commissioned by the The Mercedarian Order to hang in the "De Profundis" (funerary chapel) hall of their monastery in Seville (now Museum of Fine Arts of Seville).  Zurbarán is noted for his portrayals of penitent or martyred monks and saints.  Critic Tom Lubbock used this painting to illustrate a difference in the way the martyrdom of two different saints were depicted.  He contrasted the understated and calm depiction of St. Serapion's violent death, with the equally or more violent death of the Jesuit priest and martyr Saint Edmund Campion (1540–1581) who was publicly hanged, drawn and quartered in London in December 1581.  The art critic draws a comparison in the manner of depiction of Campion's death and that of Saint Serapion of Algiers (1179–1240), a Mercedarian friar who fought in the Third Crusade of 1196 and was later martyred. <SEP> The Moses-Saunders Power Dam, short for Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Dam, is a dam on the Saint Lawrence River straddling the border between the United States and Canada.  It is located between Massena in New York and Cornwall in Ontario.  The dam supplies water to two adjacent power stations, the United States' 912 MW St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project and Canada's 1,045 MW R.H. Saunders Generating Station.  Constructed between 1954 and 1958, the dam created Lake St. Lawrence and is part of a larger project called the Saint Lawrence Seaway.  Aside from providing significant amounts of renewable power, the dam regulates the St. Lawrence River and affords passage for the navigation of large vessels.  Despite the enormous economic advantages to the dam, it required the relocation of 6,500 people and caused harm to the surrounding environment.  Positive efforts have been made over the years to improve shoreline and fish habitats.
