Highly detailed large format photograph of the iconic marble sculpture of Urbano VIII by Bernini at the Palazzo dei Conservatori, from a series of photographic observances capturing the intricate sculptural tactile details of iconic Baroque marble works in Rome.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) was an Italian architect and more prominently the leading sculptor of his age, creating the Baroque style of sculpture under Pope VIII Urbano. A promoter of the arts, Urban VIII was the foremost patron of this important Baroque sculptor and architect, some of whose finest works he commissioned, including the loggias of St. Peter, Rome, and Urban’s tomb in the basilica.
