Dr. Rocky Ruggiero
While Bernini’s fame is largely due to the sculptures that he produced early in his career for the Borghese family, such as the “Apollo and Daphne” and “Pluto and Persephone,” the works that he produced after the death of Pope Paul V Borghese were equally spectacular. In this exclusive webinar, Dr. Rocky will examine the later career of the great sculptor and masterpieces such as the “Badacchino,” “The Ecstasy of St. Teresa,” “The Fountain of the Fours Rivers,” and “The Triton Fountain.”
