...sculptor cast his ideas into clay, creating models for 10 over life-size marble angels, each carrying an instrument of Christ's Passion. Of the 10 angels, eight were carved by sculptors under Bernini's direction, and Bernini's own work was confined to the angels holding the Crown of Thorns and the Superscription.
