Summary:

Bernini and Pallavicino are closely related figures at the papal courts of Urban VIII and Alexander VII. The analysis of Pallavicino's writings offer a new perspective on Bernini's art and artistry and allow us to understand the visual arts in papal Rome as a 'making manifest' of the fundamental truths of faith.
