Featuring major works from Caravaggio and his circle and the
Italian Baroque period, this lavishly illustrated book looks at
Rome as the center of European culture in the 17th century. The
National Galleries Barberini Corsini in Rome host one of the major
collections of Italian Baroque paintings. This art has been admired
all over Europe. The monarchs aimed to transfer the glamour of
Roman Baroque to their courts. In the 18th century Frederick II of
Prussia modeled the Palais Barberini in Potsdam, Germany, after the
Barberini Palace in Rome. In January 2017 the newly founded Museum
Barberini moved into the recently reconstructed Palais Barberini in
Potsdam. This book accompanies an exhibition in Potsdam of splendid
17th century works from the National Galleries Barberini Corsini in
Rome. It provides not only a fitting background to Museum
Barberini's fascinating architectural history but also highlights
the important role of the Barberini family and Pope Urban VIII as
patrons and art collectors.
