If you take a look at The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa you will find some interestnig similarities to the painting by Caravaggio below. Notice the posture, and notice even more the aggresive motion of the angel. If I was a feminist scholar alarms would be going off in my head. (At least Caravaggio doesn't resort to phallic imagery!) Here is a smaller picture, but take a look at the link to get the full impact of one of the greatest sculptures ever made.
