A series of lectures about Italian art by Father Marius Zerafa
Gian Lorenzo Bernini dominated the Seventeenth Century with his own personality, his genius and his works of art. At that time he used to be in Rome as important as Michelangelo Buonarroti had been in the previous century. He was an architect, a sculptor, a painter, a scenographer, a drama writer, and also a real Baroque artist. The Baroque aesthetics was based on a new conception of space and nature, on striking light and shadow effects, and on a new theatricality. Bernini was a real innovator and his works would have influenced a whole generation of artists and the destiny of art in general.
