Bernini: Roman Baroque Sculpture and Spirit
Shawon Kinew
Thursday 3:00 – 5:45pm
This graduate seminar investigates Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his sculpture within the context of Seicento art theory, aesthetics and his own spiritual practice. We will study Bernini alongside his contemporaries and their aims, while also critically examining the sometimes-parochial study of Bernini. What can Bernini teach us in 2019?
