I got to see a lot of "Art" in the Churches over in Europe. One of them was this Statue of Saint Teresa being stabbed with an arrow of "divine love." It is in a Church in Rome...and the other picture is the Altar in that same Church.
The sculpture is considered to sensual by many people. Even when it was first displayed, Folks were shocked.
The Artist (Bernini) was flabbergasted that people were offended by the look on her face -which many took to be somewhat orgasmic. He said he was just taking her actual words of the Vision she had, and made it visual.
Three is a lot of History behind this statue, and maybe an Art Historian can elaborate on it. One of the many things that led to the Protestant Reformation, where these elaborate, even ornate, churches, altars, and statuary.
But one thing still stays the same- the doggone thing is beautiful.
