Bernini and the Art of Architecture (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Bernini and the Art of Architecture Monday, August 31 2009.

• The work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) has virtually defined the Baroque style in the visual arts. Bernini's famous Square of St. Peter's and Scala Regia at the Vatican transformed both locations into breathtaking theatrical sets, and Bernini's career featured a masterly integration of painting, sculpture, and architecture in one site. 280 color illustrations.
