About this book

Examining Bernini's works from 1665 on, from Paris and Rome, this book demonstrates the wealth of material still to be drawn from close visual and material examination, archival research, and comparative textual analysis. On the whole, this collection deals with Bernini's position as the leading creator of portraits - in oils, marble, monumental architecture, and metaphor - of some of the most powerful political players of his day. These studies speak to the growing distance of Gallic absolutism from the fading dreams of papal hegemony over Europe, and to the complexities of Bernini's role as mouthpiece, obstacle, and flatterer of the Princes of the Papal States.

Reviews

"Somme toute, cet ouvrage a le mérite de vouloir réanalyser l’oeuvre tardive de Gian Lorenzo Bernini comme un ensemble en soi, qui rassemblerait des oeuvres procédant d’un même état d’esprit, même s’il est évident qu’un découpage strict de la carrière de l’artiste en périodes de jeunesse/maturité/vieillesse est loin d’être évidente. À côté de découvertes inédites telles que celles de T. Montanari, c’est essentiellement l’oeuvre sculptée et dans une moindre mesure construite qui est remise sur la table, les réflexions accordant une part importante aux stratégies des commanditaires, ainsi qu’aux hésitations du maestro, que l’on aurait parfois tendance à faire passer au second plan quand il s’agit d’artistes aussi importants que Bernin."
