Bernini was known for his sculptures like the marvellous marble altarpiece: Ecstasy of St Theresa (1647-1652 marble, in Rome, Santa Maria della Vittoria. Painting was only a sideline for him. Bernini's activity as a painter was a sideline which he did mainly in his youth. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernini#Paintings. My choice for a favorite would be his haunting Self-Portrait as a Young Man c. 1623,oil on canvas, Gallery Borghese, Rome

You do realize that Bernini was primarily known as a sculptor?
