Title:Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture
By:Andrea Bacchi, Catherine Hess, and Jennifer Montagu
Year: 2009

Co-published by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the National Gallery of Canada, this comprehensive exhibition catalog explores how Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his 17th-century Roman contemporaries transformed the marble bust into a dynamic, psychologically expressive art form. Featuring scholarly essays by leading art historians alongside full-color illustrations, the volume documents Bernini’s technical innovations in capturing the "speaking likeness" of his sitters in stone. The text contextualizes Bernini’s masterworks alongside sculptures, drawings, and paintings by artists such as Alessandro Algardi, Giuliano Finelli, and Francesco Mochi, illustrating the interrelationship of the visual arts in Baroque Rome.
