Gian Lorenzo Bernini was the greatest sculptor of the Baroque
period, and yet--surprisingly--there has never before been a major
exhibition of his sculpture in North America. Bernini and the Birth
of Baroque Portrait Sculpture--on view from August 5 through
October 26, 2008, at the J. Paul Getty Museum and from November 28,
2008, through March 8, 2009, at the National Gallery of Canada,
Ottawa--showcases portrait sculptures from all phases of the
artist's long career, from the very early Antonio Coppola of 1612
to Clement X of about 1676, one of his last completed works.
Bernini's portrait busts were masterpieces of technical virtuosity;
at the same time, they revealed a new interest in psychological
depth. Bernini's ability to capture the essential character of his
subjects was unmatched and had a profound influence on other
leading sculptors of his day, such as Alessandro Algardi, Giuliano
Finelli, and Francesco Mochi. Bernini and the Birth of Baroque
Portrait Sculpture is a groundbreaking study that features drawings
and paintings by Bernini and his contemporaries. Together they
demonstrate not only the range, skill, and acuity of these masters
of Baroque portraiture but also the interrelationship of the arts
in seventeenth-century Rome.
