Bernini and Pallavicino, the artist and the Jesuit cardinal, are
closely related figures at the papal courts of Urban VIII and
Alexander VII, at which Bernini was the principal artist. The
analysis of Pallavicino's writings offers a new perspective on
Bernini's art and artistry and allow us to understand the visual
arts in papal Rome as a 'making manifest' of the fundamental truths
of faith. Pallavicino's views on art and its effects differ
fundamentally from the perspective developed in Bernini's
biographies offering a perspective on the tension between artist
and patron, work and message. In Pallavicino's writings the visual
arts emerge as being intrinsically bound up with the very core of
religion involving questions of idolatry, mimesis and illusionism
that would prove central to the aesthetic debates of the eighteenth
century.
