The show, open to the public from 12 February to 14 June, places at its centre the extraordinary relationship between Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Maffeo Barberini, the future Pope Urban VIII and true architect of the Roman Baroque.<\/p>\n<p>Through six sections, the exhibition traces the artist\u2019s evolution from his early years alongside his father Pietro to the full maturity reached during the Barberini pontificate. Sculptures, portraits, paintings and architectural projects illustrate how Maffeo was the first<br \/>\nto recognise Bernini\u2019s talent, supporting him across all fields of the arts.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to exceptional loans and rarely displayed works, the exhibition offers a new and in-depth reading of a pivotal moment in European art history, revealing the creative power of a partnership that shaped the face of XVII century Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Advance ticket sales begin on 4 December.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery-article galleryid-4383 gallery-columns-3
