Bernini's Ecstasy of St. Teresa
Here is the statue, it shows an angel stabbing St.Teresa with a Dagger, through which she her soul becomes connected to god. Its an incredibly shocking piece of art by Bernini who was one of the Vaticans most reknowned artists, the description talks of St.Teresa being penetrated by god himself. I reccommend reading up on it, to fully appriecate this work of art.
