FREE WEBINAR |”Treasures of the Borghese Gallery in Rome – Part I“
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero
In 17th-century Rome, Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, assembled one of the greatest art collections in history for his uncle’s villa. His eclectic taste combined works from ancient times through to his own contemporary Baroque artists, such as the tormented painter Caravaggio and the phenomenally talented sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This collection is still visible today in one of Rome’s most popular museums – the Borghese Gallery. This free webinar will examine the history of the Villa Borghese, as well Bernini’s breathtaking statues such as the Apollo and Daphne and the Pluto and Persephone.
The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
