This is Maffeo Barberini, Pope Urban VIII, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It is circa 1632.
Abraham and the Three Angels is by Bartholome Esteban Murillo, and dates to 1670-74.
Another bust, this one dating circa 1663-68. Bust of a King is by Pierre Puget.
The Return of the Prodigal Son dates to circa 1655-56, and is by Salvator Rosa.
For today I leave off with another wide view of the Baroque Room. More from in here tomorrow.
The sculptures are very nice ! The handsome pope certainly had a lot of success with the nonnes !

ReplyDeletePope Urban has an interesting face.
ReplyDeleteShould be no problem maintaining social distance in that room.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. Giving me ideas. What fun it would be to create or have a bust made of yourself to leave love ones. I could get laughter from that for years.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with the others William, the busts are excellent and again so is the Baroque room, the perfect foil for the old masters 💜
