"Bernini and the Roman Baroque: Masterpieces from Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia" on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg [ Ссылка ]
Working for popes and princes, Bernini was one of the brightest luminaries in the history of art, creating theatrical sculpture, paintings, decorative arts, and architecture. His remarkable versatility and vision helped to transform the city of Rome during the early 1600s, and his artistic spirit inspired dozens of artists during his lifetime.
"Bernini and the Roman Baroque" features rarely seen and privately owned masterpieces from the Chigi family palace in Ariccia. Major patrons of the arts, the powerful and ambitious Chigi family amassed a spectacular collection of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the greatest artists of the period. These works provide a glimpse into the drama and imagination of the Roman Baroque.
"Bernini and the Roman Baroque: Masterpieces from Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia" is organized by Glocal Project Consulting and is toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.
Made possible by The Margaret Acheson Stuart Society, State of Florida, Sibbri Foundation, Penny and Jeff Vinik, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and Friends of Bernini, including Dr. Dimity and Mark Carlson, Gerry and Allen Davidson, Marianne and Mark Mahaffey, Ambassador Mel and Betty Sembler, and TomCat.
