Bringing together established and emerging specialists in
seventeenth-century Italian sculpture, Material Bernini is the
first sustained examination of the conspicuous materiality of
Bernini's work in sculpture, architecture, and paint. The various
essays demonstrate that material Bernini has always been tied
(whether theologically, geologically, politically, or in terms of
art theory) to his immaterial twin. Here immaterial Bernini and the
historiography that sustains him is finally confronted by material
Bernini. Central to the volume are Bernini's works in clay, a
fragmentary record of a large body of preparatory works by a
sculptor who denied any direct relation between sketches of any
kind and final works. Read together, the essays call into question
why those works in which Bernini's bodily relation to the material
of his art is most evident, his clay studies, have been configured
as a point of unmediated access to the artist's mind, to his
immaterial ideas. This insight reveals a set of values and
assumptions that have profoundly shaped Bernini studies from their
inception, and opens up new and compelling avenues of inquiry
within a field that has long remained remarkably self-enclosed.
