Book Description:

The Bust of Christ discussed by Prof. Andrea Bacchi in this catalogue is a newly discovered example of the collaboration between Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. In this bust, possibly his earliest sacred work, we see the first signs of Gian Lorenzo's unequalled genius both as a maker of portraits and as a creator of religious iconography.
