EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable talent of Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, an esteemed Italian artist who left an indelible mark on Rome. Created by James Basire in 1764 using etching with mezzotint techniques, this portrait beautifully captures Bernini's essence. Bernini, known for his prowess as a painter, sculptor, and architect, is depicted here with utmost reverence. His head adorned with curly hair and a well-groomed beard exudes sophistication and artistic flair. The intricate details of his moustache add to the overall charm of the composition. As one gazes at this print, it becomes evident that Bernini was not just any ordinary artist; he was a true master of his craft. His contributions during the Counter Reformation period were significant in shaping Roman art and architecture. The frontal perspective chosen for this portrait allows us to connect intimately with Bernini's gaze. It feels as if he is looking directly into our souls, inviting us to appreciate his genius and immerse ourselves in his world. This posthumous tribute serves as a testament to Bernini's enduring legacy within the art world. Preserved within private collections today, this print continues to inspire awe and admiration for one of Italy's most celebrated artists.
