Bernini and Baroque Rome

Summary

The portraits, fountains and mythological sculptures of GianLorenzo Bernini are some of the most exuberant and joyous sculptures ever made.

Synopsis

Rome is a city of many glories, from distant antiquity onwards, and amongst her remarkable churches, fountains and monuments are the spectacular works of GianLorenzo Bernini. This complex, driven artist was the friend and confidant of Popes and princes, a child prodigy and a prolific, if understandably arrogant, genius. Find out about his sculpture, paintings, fountains, architecture – even plays – but also discover why such exuberance and magnificence became powerful weapons in a religious and political propaganda war.
