Paul Getty Museum and from November 28, 2008, through March 8, 2009, at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa--showcases portrait sculptures from all phases of the artist's long career, from the very early \u003cem\u003eAntonio Coppola\u003c\/em\u003e of 1612 to \u003cem\u003eClement X\u003c\/em\u003e of about 1676, one of his last completed works. \u003cbr\u003e Bernini's portrait busts were masterpieces of technical virtuosity; at the same time, they revealed a new interest in psychological depth. Bernini's ability to capture the essential character of his subjects was unmatched and had a profound influence on other leading sculptors of his day, such as Alessandro Algardi, Giuliano Finelli, and Francesco Mochi.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eBernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture\u003c\/em\u003e is a groundbreaking study that features drawings and paintings by Bernini and his contemporaries. Together they demonstrate not only the range, skill, and acuity of these masters of Baroque portraiture but also the interrelationship of the arts in seventeenth-century Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Bacchi, Catherine Hess, Andrea Bachi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892369310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892369317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009","brand":"Andrea Bacchi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926786900223,"sku":"9780892369317","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e8f24fba-00de-4c30-b073-3e0cd8f6dbd0.jpg?v=1681085006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bernini-and-the-birth-of-andrea-bacchi-9780892369317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
