About the piece
Attributed to the Baroque master Giovanni Battista Gaulli, known as Baciccio, this circa 1665 oil painting offers a powerful likeness of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The work captures the intense, intellectual presence of the great artist through dramatic lighting and confident brushwork, making it a definitive example of 17th-century European portraiture.
