If you think your holiday decorating is over-the-t

If you think your holiday decorating is over-the-top, come see the gratuitous and festive works in “Bernini and the Roman Baroque” on display now through Jan. 16, 2022 at William King Museum of Art.

“Bernini and the Roman Baroque: Masterpieces from Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia,” an exhibition which comprehensively maps the rich spectrum of genres and pictorial styles that characterize Baroque aesthetics and illuminates the influence of Gian Lorenzo Bernini across the Baroque movement.

The luminous examples in this exhibition epitomize Baroque’s ultimate goal of elevating the viewer in mind and soul, communicating the moral and spiritual messages of the Catholic Church in its artistic heyday.

On display from October 14, 2021 - January 16, 2022. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Rose Marie Burriss with additional support by John and Joan Gregory & Don and Ginia Shawl.

Bernini and the Roman Baroque: Masterpieces from Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia is organized by Glocal Project Consulting and is toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. The exhibition was curated by Francesco Petrucci, Director of Palazzo Chigi and Dominique Lora, Art Historian and Curator.
