The Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica features in Palazzo Barberini<\/strong> the exhibition \u201cThe sovereign image. Urbano VIII and the Barberini family\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, curated by Maurizia Cicconi, Flaminia Gennari Santori, Sebastian Sch\u00fctze (March the 18th – July the 30th 2023).
\nFour hundreds years have passed since the election of Maffeo Barberini to papacy with the name of Urbano VIII: it\u2019s the perfect anniversary<\/strong> to celebrate the cultural and political shape of the papacy that immensely influenced the XVIIth century arts, philosophy and science<\/strong>. The exhibition\u2019s purpose is to show how the Barberini\u2019s cultural strategy was focused on the political achievement.<\/p>\n

The Barberini collection became smaller throughout the centuries; and now, thanks to the exhibition, many masterpieces from the most important museum all over the world, finally will come back to the original location.<\/p>\n

More than 80 masterpieces from our permanent collection and from more than 40 museums and private collections will be on display. <\/p>\n

The exhibition is composed by twelve sections<\/strong> and extends throughout the palace, from the ground floor to the most symbolic spaces of the first floor: the Pietro da Cortona hall, the marble room, the Throne room, the landscape room and so on.<\/p>\n
