EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century marble bust, created by the renowned Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini in 1619, depicts Camilla Barbadori, the mother of Pope Urban VIII, Maffeo Barberini (r. 1623-1644). The lifelike portrayal of Camilla, who passed away before her son's election to the papacy, is a testament to Bernini's exceptional artistic skill. The intricately carved features on her face, with its subtle creases and pleats, reveal the passage of time and the wisdom that comes with age. The bust's realistic details, such as the delicate folds of her clothing and the naturalistic rendering of her hair, further highlight Bernini's mastery of the Baroque style. Camilla Barbadori's bust was originally housed in the family's villa in Caprarola, Italy, before being moved to the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen in the late 19th century. The bust's journey from Italy to Denmark is a reminder of the rich cultural exchange that took place during this period in European history. Today, it stands as a significant addition to the museum's collection, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistic and historical significance of the Baroque era. Gianlorenzo Bernini was a leading figure in the Baroque movement, known for his innovative use of materials and his ability to capture the human form with extraordinary realism. This bust of Camilla Barbadori is just one example of his many masterpieces, which continue to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
