- Summary:
- Examining Bernini's works from 1665 on, from Paris and Rome, this book demonstrates the wealth of material still to be drawn from close visual and material examination, archival research, and comparative textual analysis. On the whole, this collection deals with Bernini's position as the leading creator of portraits - in oils, marble, monumental architecture, and metaphor - of some of the most powerful political players of his day. These studies speak to the growing distance of Gallic absolutism from the fading dreams of papal hegemony over Europe, and to the complexities of Bernini's role as mouthpiece, obstacle, and flatterer of the Princes of the Papal States.
- Gian Lorenzo Berninis Werke, die nach 1665 in Paris und Rom entstanden, sind der Gegenstand dieses Buches. Eingehende Untersuchungen der Kunstwerke sowie des Quellen- und Archivmaterials liefern zahlreiche neue Erkenntnisse zum Spätwerk des Barockbildhauers, Malers und Architekten. Im Vordergrund steht Berninis Position als herausragender Porträtist der mächtigen politischen Akteure seiner Zeit. Die Beiträge thematisieren die wachsende Distanz zwischen dem aufkommenden französischen Absolutismus und dem verblassenden Traum von einer Vormachtstellung des Papsttums in Europa, aber auch die Rolle des Künstlers, der gleichermaßen als Sprachrohr, als Kritiker und als Schmeichler der Fürsten am päpstlichen Hof tätig ist.
