The Holy Name: Art of the Gesù: Bernini and His Age

Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) was born in Naples, but Rome benefited the most from his long and rich career with the presentation of masterpieces in many forms of Baroque art and architecture.

The exhibit at Fairfield University Art Museum in Connecticut focuses on the Gesù, one of Rome’s many magnificent churches. The University’s website presents several examples of the art associated with this church and a brief video by Philippe de Montebello, formerly Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To learn more and take a 360 virtual tour of the church of the Gesù, visit www.fairfield.edu/museum/gesu/.
