Beyond Bernini: The Hidden Masters of Baroque Rome
When visitors think of seventeenth-century Roman sculpture, one name invariably dominates the conversation: Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Yet Rome's churches, palaces, and chapels are filled with extraordinary masterpieces created by a remarkable generation of sculptors who worked alongside, competed with, and were often overshadowed by the great master himself.
This free live Zoom lecture shines a spotlight on the forgotten geniuses of Baroque Rome, exploring the lives and works of artists whose sculptures deserve far greater recognition. From dramatic marble saints and breathtaking funerary monuments to ingenious architectural sculpture hidden in little-visited churches, we will uncover the stories behind some of the city's most spectacular yet overlooked treasures.
Join us as we venture beyond Bernini to discover the rich artistic landscape of seventeenth-century Rome, bringing masterpieces out of the dusty corners of darkened chapels and into the light.
