OTHER BAROQUE ATTRACTIONS IN ROME
THE RAPE OF PROSERPINA
The Borghese Gallery’s collection has some of the most striking examples of Bernini’s work, created between 1621 and 1625. ‘Apollo and Daphne’, ‘The Rape of Proserpina’, and ‘David’ are brilliant examples of the Baroque period, showcasing how the period’s artists took marble’s expressiveness to new heights. |
YOUNG SICK BACCHUS
Boy with a Basket of Fruit’ (c. 1593) is perhaps one of his most important early Roman works, now on view at the gallery. |
