During the lessons we will take into account primarily decorative cycles adorning churches (Santa Maria in Vallicella, St. Agnes in Agony, Santa Maria della Vittoria), palaces (Palazzo Pamphili in Piazza Navona, Palazzo Altieri) and also public spaces (Piazza Navona , Ponte Sant'Angelo), investigating also aspects of patronage and reception by his contemporaries. We will also analyse biographical profiles and careers of some of the protagonists of the period such as, for example, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Pietro da Cortona and Carlo Maratti.
