AHIS 341 - Seminar:Bernini and Borromini:Art and Rivalry in Baroque Rome

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Among the artists and architects most closely associated with the absolutist rulers of 17th-century Europe, Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini stand as polar opposites. Collaborators and competitors, they shaped the face of Baroque art and architecture in Rome and throughout Europe. This course will study the work of Bernini and Borromini in the wider context of 17th-century Roman politics and patronage, as well as their influence upon later Baroque art and architecture in Europe and beyond. Issues to be explored include their interest in and adaptation of antiquity, their use of theatricality and stagecraft, and the ways in which their rivalry shaped their development as politically ambitious players upon the stage of Baroque Rome.
